My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The location couldn’t be better, with all the major tourist attractions just a short walk away. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Extremely nice hotel located in the heart of old city with key old city spots within walking distance. Hotel ambiance was exquisite and the staff extremely kind and helpful.

Can’t decide what made this stay extra special: charming and helpful staff, luxurious sheets, funky bar, rooftop terrace with view, quiet and colorful neighborhood, lots of restaurants close by, proximity to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, historic decor? The only downers were smallish size rooms and minimal outlets

A nice enough hotel near the Bosphorus . The rooms were adequate though the a/c could have been more effective . Its on the bus route into the centre and walkable if you head up hill towards Blue Mosque

Breakfast was great. Had a 23$ charge on my credit card and don’t know why. Requested a sea view and paid extra, got a garden view instead. Great area
