There was a huge variety of fine meals. The staff was outstandingly accommodating and very very helpful, solved all problems we had. The location was beautiful and wonderful, not very far from an Ottoman - era Friday mosque.

The room was spotless and updated and had a particularly nice view. The location was strategic and best possible, at a moderate distance from a byzantine basilica museum. It was across the secure area.

It is a well-maintained and great property located in Old City Sultanahmet district so close to Gulhane tram stop, most attractions and Aya Sofya & Blue Mosque. The location is amazing and MARVELLOUS, very close to the public transport system.
Cold breakfast, it should definitely be improved.

I thoroughly enjoyed single room. It was updated and included an electric kettle, climate control and an individual safe. The breakfast was unlimited and satisfactory, the check in was early. Took the advantage of the parking nearby. The location was stunning - ease of access to Ataturk.

The stay here was just perfect for 3 nights in March 2018. We had the double room and it was spotless with super comfy beds and pillows.
Breakfast, it was cold, could be much better.
