Amazing central location, next to tourist attractions, Laleli for shopping and major sightseeing on quiet street. Also, to everything in old town.

We got room with nice decor and a well equipped bathroom to relax. The location was stunning and particularly good, close enough to all tourist attractions in Sultanahmet and public transport, the Tram station, Ayasofya and mosque of sultanahmet, and Topkapi, Ayasofia, Sultanahmet mosque and grandbazar and Laleli for shopping, greatly enjoyed this place.

My stay here was very pleasant. Excellent and affable staff and the place was clean. It was a perfect location not far from the main attractions, and the main areas. I booked double room overlooking garden. The bed was big, and there were a safe box, a mini bar, and central heating too.
Ordered breakfast, it was poor, it should be far better, really.

Perfect little and absolutely amazing hotel overlooking city, we had a really enjoyable experience here. The location was particularly good and amazing for Istanbul, adjacent to Topkapi, Ayasofia, Sultanahmet mosque and grandbazar and Laleli for shopping, blue mosque and Aghia Sofia and all tourist attractions in Sultanahmet and public transport.

The staff was super-friendly, the room was modern with huge windows. The overall atmosphere was quiet, but some staff members were quite loud. The service was excellent and the location was particularly good. Being very close to Kim Klan Chinese was nice, we had dinner there.

All perfect, everything you need for the holiday. The location is excellent and lovely as it's close to Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace and the Archeological Museums. Also, it is next to The Rolling Bridge, to everything in old town.

It was really neat and exceptionally comfortable hotel, would recommend. Quiet and top location - a few steps away from everywhere we needed. And the area was pretty quiet, near all tourist attractions in Sultanahmet as well as the historical center.

The brand-new hotel was convenient. The staff were knowledgeable and took care of me. Its location was central, near Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami. Also, the area was peaceful. This was my second very enjoyable stay here and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

The rooms were exceptional and modern, had a hairdryer, a walk-in shower, and bath sheets in the bathroom. Its location not too far from a functioning mosque was excellent. There was a perfect restaurant just a short walk away from the hotel.

Besides, the location was wonderful for our stay, within 10 minutes' walk of Basilica Cistern. The staff was knowledgeable and efficient and we could use wake up service and ironing free of charge. The room we had was large and brand-new, and complete with huge windows.
There was nothing I didn't like.

Ideal hotel, excellent staff, beautifully decorated room, well equipped bathroom. Good location within easy walking distance of a restored column. Set in a quiet area close enough to all tourist attractions, the Tram station and Topkapi, Ayasofia, Sultanahmet mosque and grandbazar and Laleli for shopping.

Mentioned hotel exceeded all expectations and my stay there was pleasant! Every detail was perfectly fine and I loved it. The rooms were exceptional and light and the location was awesome. Dined at Panorama Restaurant, it was just a pleasant stroll away from the venue. Perfect restaurant provided Turkish dishes.
The staff was noisy.
