Charming and fairly clean hotel with fabulous view of Sea of Marmara. Nice and welcoming staff in the night shift and very central location. Set in a safe area just next door to multiple mosques, monuments and tramway station, and all the major Istanbul historical sites.

The location was great for walking around an Ottoman - era Friday mosque. We needed wheelchair accessible room with the large balcony, adequate space and double bed and it was available.

Great hotel with absolutely fabulous view of the sea. Nice staff in the night shift, updated economy double room. Great location - near Ataturk. Found in a safe area close enough to the main bazaar, a grocery store, as well as a street food eatery which is open late, and the tram line.

My favourite property in Istanbul. Best base for discovering Istanbul with excellent staff in the night shift. Relatively quiet area, central location just next door to the main tourist attractions and metro and shoppings. Brilliant food in the restaurants such as Ozlem Karadeniz, located 5 min away.

We didn't have time, so stayed here only for 5 nights, though everything was good. We stayed in the economy queen room and enjoyed it. The personal was courteous. Its location was very central, a minute walk from Eminonu Pier.

Generally, the place was pleasant and had respectful staff in the night shift. The room was airy and we enjoyed coffee/tea making facilities and glassware. The location was unbeatable and best possible, not too far from a byzantine basilica museum.

Amazing and nicely updated hotel, it has welcoming staff in the night shift. Make sure to get standard queen room with balcony, an enormous bed, as example. An electric kettle and glassware are a nice touch.
