Disliked: Amenities
The facilities are sorely lacking. Not a single cafe or restaurant in the property. In this day and age a manual key to our room was provided Even so we asked for another key but was denied. The staff took ages to set up the tv and only managed to get YouTube channel. Daily cleaning of the room is not automatic.

Great stay in a really convenient location! Staff were very friendly in the hotel and at the restaurant, my room was clean and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat! 2 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia and other attractions in Sultanahmet. Very safe area to walk around at any time, would highly recommend staying here!

Andres

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is very well located, with several restaurants nearby and a great walking route to the mosques. However, overall, the hotel was not so good. We noticed that the elevator sensors do not work, which is a serious safety issue. Some of the staff do not speak English well, making it difficult to communicate when asking for recommendations or directions. Additionally, our safe box did not work at check-out, and the staff did not know how to reset or open it, causing us to almost miss our flight — an unacceptable situation. If we return to Istanbul, we will definitely not stay here again.

Would not recommend. Very un professional. Gave me someone elses room and then was harassing me while i was out saying they need the room and need to get in to move my things to another room. And then when i had the notice outside my door for it to be cleaned. All they did was take the old towels but didnt replace them or anything in the bathroom and didnt make the bed or actualy clean anything. Duvet n pillows were thrown into a corner of the room

Great location in Sultanahmet. Right next door to the Four Seasobs Hotel at a fraction of the price. Beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the smaller side. Clean, and a good place to rest after a full day of walking at the nearby attractions
