Location - marvellous, short walk to main attractions such as Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and so much more, a supermarket and the Galley. Bright and impeccably clean rooms, such wonderful stay for 4 nights near to touristic center that did n't cost too much!

The hotel was modern, I would recommend it to all. Everything was nice, the wifi was stable. The location could n't be more unbeatable and exceptionally nice near to 30-40 resturants. The staff was very friendly and genuinely helpful all the time.
Their staff were bad.

We stayed in a triple room which was spotless and charming little. An electric kettle, a washing machine and glassware were an advantage. It was in an unbeatable and magnificent location back to the airport bus stop on the top of the hill...

We really enjoyed the single room as it was wonderful. There were facilities such as a safe, a minibar and an iron. The location was exceptional, next to tram station, and the Galley, in a nice enough area.
Nothing negative to say.

An exceptional stay within a 3 nights from the first stay. The hotel is reasonably clean, nestled in the very comfortable building with caring and genuinely helpful staff. Only a 15-minute walk from the train station. Public parking nearby provided. Everything fine.

I found everything nice, would recomand it to all. The total stay was exceptional for 4 nights near to touristic center that did n't cost too much. Booked double room, that included cable channels, a dining area and ironing facilities. The staff were very amiable and genuinely helpful at all times. The location in a downtown area was nice and there were a bazaar and a grand bazaar nearby.
The staff was bad.

Neat and bright rooms with view, really really nice stay! A huge variety of options for breakfast including coffee, tea, butter, breads, and boiled eggs. Unbeatable location to Basilica Cistern.

My favourite property in Istanbul. Fantastic stay, lovely place. Absolutely perfect and exceptional location of the hotel, next to the embankment, quiet neighbourhood near historic centre and public transport tram. Situated only 1 km from an Ottoman - era Friday mosque.

Extremely comfy bed in economic quadruple room with a mini-bar, central heating and an iron. A wide array of goodies for breakfast. Marvellous and unbeatable location, in the central neighborhood.
