The room was spacious and having a work desk, multi-channel TV, and ironing facilities in it was handy. The location was super and exceptional there, away from the closest tram station.

Had 1 day in Istanbul, spending my time here lovely. The most important was the staff - polite and superfriendly people. I really enjoyed the stylish rooms with even a balcony. The hotel was luxury and absolutely charming and in a central location really close to famous Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar as well as touristic attractions. Highly recommended for one night.

Location adjacent to touristic places like Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque, Istanbul in the end of November 2020 and historical city center. For tea or coffee visit Joy Cafe Restaurant nearby. A great selection of goodies for breakfast...

Absolutely charming place with fantastic friendly staff, everything was perfect. The atmosphere created was quiet! I was satisfied with the good-sized and nice styled room, there were a tub and towels just in case. The location was excellent, at a moderate distance from a Holy mosque.

Excellent stay, as always. Lovely base for 2 nights. Marvellous location to a functioning mosque. Found in a historic area near to the Old Town as well as famous Hagia Sophia. Breakfast with nice view.
Not very friendly staff!
