The hotel is overall clean with an amazing design and incredibly helpful and responsive staff. Well decorated and well-kept room with a queen size bed and real good experience. Location - best possible, not far from a cafeteria located on top/attic of the building, the centre of Sultanhamet and Haghia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Sistern, Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park. Nearby Shenanigans Irish Pub - great place to chill out. Honestly nothing too much trouble.

The location turned out to be super and brilliant, so close to the restaurant where the breakfast was served, and major mosques. Stayed in superior room with balcony which was perfect for me.

Neat rooms with a queen size bed for hotel guests. Good and perfect location short walk to Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, and the most visited tourist attractions such as Suleyman Ahmed Square, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazar and many more in a quiet area. Minutes from a public bath.
Wi-Fi was a bit slow.

Fabulous food, superior hotel, fantastic location in the restaurant where the breakfast was served. Nicely furnished & good sized unit with balcony, a full bed, as for instance. A wide range of food for breakfast including slices of fresh bread and eggs.

Appreciated well-appointed and new-fashioned standard room with a queen size bed, wouldn't mind staying there all day. The location was perfect and fantastic because it was very close to the major tourist attractions such as the Hagia Sofia as well as all the important places.
The breakfast we ordered was quite limited, it could definitely be improved.

Thanks very much everyone for a perfect 10/10 stay during winter. The room was new-fashioned and tastefully decorated with balcony - we truly enjoyed it. The location was absolutely perfect and wonderful, for example, a Holy mosque was at a walking distance from the hotel😀
