This Hotel is Excellent to stay in Istanbul. Location is very great for exploring the city, right in the Heart of Sultanahmet and close to all tourist activities. Close to public transportation and within walking distance to many places of interests. The hotel itself and the rooms are very well maintained and super clean. The breakfasts were decent and there several restraints right next to the hotel and a food supermarket for fresh food and alcohol and other stuff. The staff was well beyond perfection for helping with everything to make us feeling at home and more. Especially I would like to mention and praise Dimitri who was excellent and superb helping us from the day of our arrival and the day of leaving Istanbul. Definitely recommend this Hotel 100 % and definitely will stay there and only there. Dimirtri and all staff at the hotel, greetings from Canada

Very convenient location, good breakfast. Staff helped arrange airport shuttles. Rooms were clean, but very small. No where to even put two open suitcases. Not the hotel's fault but there was loud, late night construction in the adjacent building.
It is not a luxury hotel but itโs super clean, nice beds, sheets and pillows. Bathroom is good. Attention was very good, the staff super friendly. The location is the best! You have everything nearby. The price unbeatable!
Fantastic hotel close to all the major attractions in the old city. The staff went out of their way to accommodate anything we needed. Recommend this as a good place to stay in Istanbul
Me and my family we stayed for 1 night that here the staff were very friendly and helpful, They let us check in early, breakfast was good. The location was very convenient for restaurants, main tourist sites and train stations.
Great property located in the very heart of Istanbul. Beautiful views, accommodating service and tasty breakfast! Be sure to stay in the rooms with balcony in order to marvel at the magnificent St. Sophia
This hotel is at a walkable distance to many locations
The staff are really helpful and friendly.
Only thing is the rooms are small and the bathroom could be more spacious

The staff were exceptional, helpful and professional. Location is central
The location for a "walking" vacation was excellent!
All staff seemed friendly, but Dimetry at the front desk was there to offer suggestions and help with any little questions. All around a great experience here.
Nice quiet room. Very helpful staff.
Very good buffet breakfast and Ira was a really good host in the breakfast room each morning. We were there for six nights and each morning we were greeted with a big smile from Ira and the staff at breakfast. Does this girl ever have a day off? She was still there each evening!! Long hours!!
Excellent stay with location very good for sight seeing and shopping and eating.
