This property was one of the best locations I have ever stayed at. The staff and front desk are extremely kind and helpful. The property is located within walking distance of most the major sites and in stones throw of the Blue Mosque. There is a wonderful bazaar right out the front door, great restaurants that are open late all around, and a convenient store 20 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

My experience was excellent overall. As a girl traveling alone I had to deal with some problems and the manager of the hotel helped me solve them all. I felt safe and very welcome. The hotel was at a perfect location and I could move by foot without using public transportation, the room was very clean and cozy. Totally would revisit this hotel.

Отель находится рядом со многими достопримечательностями. Ресторан отеля находится на террасе с красивым видом, в котором в том числе подают вкусные и сытные завтраки. В номере чисто, убираются каждый день, все работает, кровати очень удобные, постельное белье хорошего качества. Персонал очень внимательный и вежливый, помогал решать любые проблемы. Нам все понравилось. Отдельная благодарность персоналу за помощь и доброжелательность.

Merkezi, manzaralı ve rahat👍
Konum olarak harika tam merkezde yer alıyor. Kahvaltı yapmak ya da akşam bir şeyler içmek için çok güzel bir teras katı var. Hem Ayasofya hemde Sultanahmet Cami manzaralı. Otelin en sevdiğim kısmı çay içerek manzarayı seyretmekti. Çalışanlar sıcak ve güler yüzlüler. Birkaç günlük konaklama için ideal. Tekrar tercih edebileceğim oteller listesine eklendi.😌

Very honest and sincere.
Very cold Hotel. No phone. Communication through face to face only which is very inconvenient when you are sick also because of that cold. Which they created for us with not having strong heating system. Very cultural.
