Great location; walking distance to blue mosque, hagia sophia, basillica cistern lots of shopping and dining. 2 blocks away walking distance there is a bus that goes to Istanbul airport for $8.00, I spent $60.00 to get to the hotel from the airport!!!!!! Rooms were clean and modern, breakfast was european style and delicious and at the top floor with a view of the ocean.

Stayed for 14 days, this little hotel is very nice we booked a room with a 1 twin and a 1 small beds,.the room was very clean, and the staff is very helping. Although its a small hotel but their staff amd owner is very very helping especially ( Miss Ayla, Mr Ali, and Mr Veli,) they three helpend us in everyway they could. Mr Ali, for helping us finding the routes in Istanbul, and Mr Veli for giving us his Tram card which helped us alot traveling across Istanbul. For miss Ayla Bundle of thanks for loving and playing with my daughter, she is still missing you btw :) Owner is nice and helping but couldn't speak much English. And yes they let us use their kitchen, and i cooked my own food one day. They also helped us with birthday decorations which made my wife's birthdays little more special. Its cheap and people working here are very very nice and helping. Thanks we really had wonderful experience in this hotel. :) breakfast was improved to a bigger portion in 1 day only. 😊
