Hotel was conveniently located close to the blue mosque and Grand Bazar. Room was a reasonable size and was clean. Only thing that let it down was the AC was not working and due to this, the room was humid and was forced to open windows which had some late night traffic noise.

A rapid 5-10 minute walk to a variety of locations, this cute hotel works to offer support to their guests getting oriented. However, sited amongst narrow streets, Uber may decline to take you there (our almost driver said he would do it off-app for double the price, we bailed and caught a taxi instead.) The hotel did help arrange a reasonably priced van ride back to the airport. Breakfast is a simple mixture of foods, but a welcome starter to the day if you don't want to spend eating out every meal.

A boutique hotel with a great location, just minutes walk away from the Blue Mosque and Hippodrome. The room, while small, was perfect for one person. The room and bathroom were clean and replenished every day. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke excellent English. The breakfast is served each morning on the top floor with a great view. The food selection is slightly limited but was good for what I needed. There was noise from the street during the week (mostly other cars going by) and many of the surrounding the streets are narrow and inclined (old city). There is a small mosque right next door that does loudspeaker calls to prayer several times per day, which some might find noisy. Overall excellent value and a recommend.

It is a 4 stars hotel, having issues with hot water for almost 2 days and with the air conditionner for more than one day, knowing that we are staying hew days only in the hotel is abnormal. However, the service (staff) was good.

Great location, horrible service

The hotel’s location is fantastic, within walking distance of the Bazaar and the two famous mosques. However, the service was disappointing. The staff was rude, and our room was not cleaned daily unless we specifically requested it. Basic amenities, like coffee, were not replenished. During breakfast, I asked the kitchen staff if I could have an extra omelet, and the response was shocking. The lady seemed upset and told me there was a strict limit of two eggs per person. She then proceeded to tell the entire hotel staff about my request, which was both unprofessional and embarrassing. Additionally, I had booked an economy two-bed room, and the queen bed was broken. When I addressed this with the front desk, the gentleman dismissed my concern, saying, “This is the room you booked for the price you are paying.” I was stunned—especially knowing there were other hotels in the same price range that offered much better accommodations. Overall, I’m very disappointed and don’t understand how this hotel has such great reviews. I would not stay here again.
