The hotel could do with a little work however it was in the most amazing spot for exploring Sultanahmet area of Istanbul. The rooms we had were great for what we needed, a comfy bed, warm shower, tea and coffee and aircon. Breakfast buffet was served on the terrace and the views over the Bosphorus were great plus also a view of the blue mosque. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby along with a few supermarkets. We would stay again here. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would stay again

I stayed there with my family and all of us enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff was friendand helpful. We opted for breakfast which i think i would recommend if you are interested in local cuisine and enjoy Turkish style breakfast. The place it self is close to all popular destinations and walkable distance to tram station where you can take tram to Eminou/Sirkici station for Ferries (asian/Bosphorus tour). I will definitely recommend this hotel especially if you want to stay central and its your first time in Istanbul.

Kiva pieni perhehotelli, jossa oli erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta. Aamiainen oli hyvä. Kuluneisuutta oli toki, mutta siisteys oli todella hyvä. Hotellin sijainti oli todella hyvä ja siitä pääsi helposti katselemaan nähtävyyksiä.

Room spacious but very dark, felt like you trapped in the box , breakfast ok if you come first at 8 am if you come later there is very poor choice just boiled egg , jam , olives and bread, if you ask for something they always says finished, don’t have anymore, although they do. Have to give 5* for cleaning. Would not go back to this hotel and this area, Area very expensive, lots of restaurants and very annoying people every time you pass they attacking you with invites to come and eat.
