Loved the location close to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Sultanhamet square. Really great and friendly staff. Great, clean rooms with modern upgrades. The breakfast is amazing. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. The only negatives are the loud prayers blasting on the speakers at 4:30 am every day but I believe that's everywhere in Sultanahmet so bring earplugs.

We loved this boutique hotel. The service was outstanding and room very neat, clean, and cool. The location is exceptional - just a 5 minute walk to Sultanahmet Square and the tram that will take you anywhere you need to go. The breakfast was delicious and included a myriad choices. Highly recommend.

Location - amazing A short walk to the main attractions but in the heat it may seem a little far , it’s not exactly central to the hustle bustle if that’s what your after. Lovely team , lovely breakfast Only thing is in the family suite it is small and will not fit three teenage children we had to get another room in the end as it wasn’t ideal . The bathroom in family suite also very small

We enjoyed our stay here! It’s a short walk from cute streets with restaurants and also important historic places like Blue Mosque and Haglia Sophia. I recommend staying in the basement room over the standard room, since it’s bigger and it does have big enough windows. The airport shuttle service was also very helpful and cheaper compared to taxi/uber. I’d stay here again.

Es gibt schöne Zimmer - und weniger schöne. Das geht nur leider aus der Beschreibung nicht eindeutig hervor. Wir hatten ein Zimmer (204) zum "Hinterhof" - Baustelle und Generator inklusive. Ein Bett mit 1,50 m Breite und 12 qm für Zimmer und Bad.. einfach zu wenig. Schade, denn das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Aber die Zimmer-Beschreibung ist für mich irreführend.

Tolle und wunderschöne Unterkunft. Das Personal zeigte sich sehr aufmerksam und das Frühstück war landestypisch und üppig. Nur ca 5-10 Minuten Fußweg zur Sultan-Ahmet-Moschee und der Hagia Sophia, sowie dem ÖPNV. Lediglich die Hellhörigkeit störte uns etwas, da man jeden Schritt der Nachbarn über uns hörte. Abgesehen von den bis 3 Uhr nachts wild herumlaufenden Nachbarn in der ersten Nacht störte uns das jedoch sonst nicht.

The full Turkish breakfast is great. The rooms are in a separate building, and are very well appointed. Literally only a few steps away from several great dining options, and directly across the street from the walkway on the Bosphorus. I highly recommended this hotel.

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral und man kann alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und das Frühstück ist sehr lecker. Hier findet jeder etwas. 🙏 Jedoch muss man damit rechnen, dass es zum Teil sehr laut sein kann durch Ab und Antransport von Wäsche, Reinigung der Straßen oder das rein & raus der Gäste. Dadurch war ein Durchschlafen fast unmöglich. Trotzdem würde ich das hotel jedem empfehlen, da die Lautstärke nicht am Hotel lag sondern überall so vorzufinden ist.
