Wow! What a great find! I only booked this on the first night of my stay and was delighted. The location is amazing - I could see Sultanahmet square and both Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosques from my room. But going up to the roof terrace was breathtaking- views across the river and 360 across the city and especially the mosques… so beautiful. The staff were lovely. And the price was great. I will definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

Excellent break for disabled lady in the old city

My wife and I stayed in a disabled room in the hotel. The ramp from the car park was a bit of a challenge and the lift to the breakfast area was too small for a mobility scooter but the staff were all amazingly helpful and when the mobility scooter broke down, they fixed it. Fantastic. The location for all the old city sites is brilliant, just a short walk to everything. If you want to go further, the tram is not far away. The view from the breakfast area is brilliant - mosques, sea, sunshine. The same area is empty during the day for a quiet chill-out with a stunning view. At night it becomes a Vietnamese restaurant - top notch too. A quick shout-out to the hotel manager and to Tara (PR) for their exceptional service, but a big thank you to everyone there.

Room not as pictured

The rooms and bathroom were not what the picture is shown here. The shower had a broken handle and very very small shower space. We chose this hotel because it had an elevator however the room we got did not have an elevator so our 2 elderly persons in our group struggled to go up and down everyday. If you are a light sleeper this hotel is not for you as the daily prayers at night is LOUD. Breakfast was good. Rooftop view is beautiful. Did not like the receptionist guy asking where we are originally from and pushing us tour packages. The lady receptionist is very nice and kind.

This is a solid 3 star hotel. The room was recently remodeled and clean. The walls are thin, can hear traffic and other guests. There is only shampoo in the shower, no soap or conditioner. Free large bottle of water. If you are expecting a 4 or 5 star hotel, this isn't for you. We were very happy for a 3 star hotel that was clean and a 3-15 minute walk to a lot of sites. The staff was very friendly.
