"The hotel's location is superb, the staff is terrific and the breakfast is excellent. However the rooms are very small and the showers are awkward and very slippery. We were unable to unpack our suitcases due to lack of space. If you are staying for 2 or 3 days, you will be fine. A shout out to the staff for arranging tours and assisting with logistics, as the hotel is in a no-drive zone. Have your taxi call the hotel and they will have someone meet you at the drop off to take you and your...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (38)
"Loved everything about this hotel, from the rooms to the staff to the price. I fear this will be much more expensive when I come back to Istanbul next year as it’s too good in terms of value for money for the room and location. A steal in Istanbul better than any bargain you’ll find at the grand bazaar. Don’t miss out, they will put the price up here when the realise how cheap they are. Place cannot be faulted "
