The only problem with this place is climbing the stairs to get to our room, but it was worth it as the view is fantastic and the room is perfectly comfortable. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. My wife particularly liked the breakfast and the helpful staff. She said that it was definitely the best place that we've stayed in for our whole trip.

Lovely hotel in a very convenient location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Izzet went out of his way to help us with booking a cab, restaurant recommendations, and sharing his knowledge of the area. It was lovely to start the day having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Marmara Sea.

Great Stay in Fatih

The location was perfect! The hotel offered access to an amazing terrace where the breakfast was offered. We enjoyed our balcony rooms. I wasn't crazy about our bathroom given that the bathtub was a bit high to get in and there was no handle for the actual shower head. There were a few issues to which the staff was a bit slow to respond but were very nice. Overall I would recommend this hotel but not for a demanding customer.

We unfortunately we only at this hotel for a few hours due to travel/flight issues, BUT the front desk receptionist was extremely helpful (at 2:30am), our little patio was great to watch sunrise and breakfast on the rooftop terrace was very picturesque. Wish we could have stayed longer to find out about the area, but would definitely go back!

One of the best!

Stayed here for 6 nights. The hotel is on a cute street that offers you some privacy from the hustle and bustle of the city, but you’re steps away from the landmarks. Exceeded my expectations. Great breakfast overlooking the sea. Deluxe room was spacious and clean. Staff is kind and helpful I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Sultanahmet area. You won’t regret your stay.
