The superior quadruple room is absolutely perfect and has central heating, iron/ironing board, and an electronic key card. I loved excellent co-operating personnel that ensures guests have a good stay. The location it has short walk to all most important monuments in the city and many attractions and the metro is perfect.
Their breakfast is very basic, can be way much better.

Our double room was outstanding with fantastic view. The location was particularly good for getting around, as a subway station was walking distance to the hotel. A grand bazaar and local stores were right next door.

The room was exceptionally good and fabulous and equipped with fantastic view, the bedroom plus terrace. The location was amazing, in Sultanahmet area, convenient to go everywhere. Moreover, it was just off good local restaurants and T1 tram line which is very convenient.

The location in a tourist area was comfortable and there were a shopping area and a bazaar nearby. The staff was extremely helpful and brilliantly friendly, as well as host. Had good sleep at the family room with terrace, the bedroom, as example.

I was there for 4 nights and ate at traditional restaurant for lunch. I had an extremely comfy bed, and central heating, iron/ironing board and an electronic key card. Top and magnificent location, rooms were modern. The place was a minute walk from Kebapci Amir, where you can have dinner.
