Small hotel with very good staff and decent views of the Sea of Marmara. Marvellous location, a few steps away from Mosaic Museum. Found in a good area adjacent to Ayasofya, Sultanahmet, Topkapi and Yerebatan Sarnici, and the historical sites Ayasofya.

The stay was very lovely, totally recommend. Grounds were kept clean, breakfast was free and tasty. Fashionable and functional units with a turkish style, and the staff were superfriendly. Beautiful location really close to Sultanahmet tram station, I felt safe. I was surprised at nearby Joy Cafe Restaurant, they had some goodies, drinks.

Exceptionally clean accommodation, top-class and well-mannered staff at the second request. Brand-new and well-designed room with fairly clean bathroom. Good bed, large breakfast with tea and bangers. Absolutely perfect location at a medium distance from an Ottoman - era Friday mosque. Near restaurants and pubs. Early check-in, late check-out. No charge for wake up calls and ironing too.

Fairly clean and pleasant place, has magnificent views of the Sea of Marmara. It has incredible personnel and new-fashioned rooms with clean bathrooms. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, the breakfast is reasonably good. Plus, the location is particularly good and magnificent, minutes from a byzantine basilica museum.

The hotel of choice in Istanbul. Fabulous place with affable staff at the second request. Tiny room with very good view on Bosfor, table removed plus queen a bed. Marvellous and decent location to a Grand bazaar. Set close to a tram station in the really quiet area. Great restaurants.
A bit small bathroom.

A QUIET atmosphere along with friendly personnel. Just a 15-minute stroll to the centre. For lunch or dinner go to Turgut Kebab, located a couple of blocks away from the hotel. You can see the city from your window. Excellent base for 3 nights.
