Welcoming staff plus the breakfast was fresh. The room was perfectly clean and with a lovely view of the sea. I enjoyed that they had a minibar, central heating, and an iron.

The breakfast was delicious for all tastes, and the staff were welcoming. The location was great, at a medium distance from a Roman triumphal column.
Tbh Wi-Fi was quite slow, and the bed was very small.

Came here for 11 nights with my family, had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Perfect location, it was not far from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sopia, the sea, and all the key tourist sights including the Blue Mosque.

Lovely base for exploring Istanbul. Lovely little and well-maintained hotel with attractive view of the sea. Very good service, particularly helpful and highly courteous staff during stay. Perfect and decent location to Basilica Cistern.

Had a very good stay with my family members, we spent 11 nights here, everything was great! The staff was best, offered me wake up calls and ironing free of charge. The location was unbeatable, relatively close to a byzantine basilica museum. Plus, it was right by all the attractions and the grand bazaar, the ocean and the islands, the ferry boats, ships and buildings/mosques close by and the Kumkapi restaurants.

Perfect location to Sultanahmet old town centre, pleasant staff, everything was great. The room was huge and airy, had a very positive stay for family vacation and business trip. The view of the sea was lovely and breakfast was savoury and fresh made. We thoroughly enjoyed being here

We ate at a good restaurant which provides traditional Turkish fare and the food tasted great. The location was great for walking around a functioning mosque. Moreover, the area was famous.
It had very small beds, maybe it was bad luck.

Delicious breakfast, with a huge variety of food. Easy to get to, marvellous location near to the city center as well as the Golden Horn, Eyup cemetery and mosque, Emirgan Park. Also, handy to the main attractions.
Really loud area.
