I was travelling with a family of four in the family room. While the room was a bit tight for four people and luggage, the staff service was outstanding. My husband needed to have his glasses fixed and the staff was able to expedite having it repaired. All 5 of our luggage was lost and the staff was helpful in calling the airlines on multiple occasions to retrieve them back. We had to have laundry done due to the lost luggage and the staff helped out with that as well. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of options. The hotel was close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Gran Bazaar and with MANY restaurant and shopping options. Would highly recommend. We did have some electrical issues in the room but we were able to deal with it.

The staff always greeted us with a smile and offered to assist with our baggage, dinner reservations, or any excursions that might do during our travel. The hotel was super convenient to everywhere we wanted to be. There was no need for a taxi, and just wear comfortable sneakers!! Staff was very pleasant, area alittle loud as expected, and rooms were clean but small.

Great option in Sultanahmet

Great option in Sultanahmet, close to the main places in the Old City - near to the Grand Bazar and 10 minutes walking distance from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Cisterns. The hotel staff is very helpful and always willing to help, the room was clean, the bed is very comfortable, good shower. Breakfast is well served and varied, although Turkish influence predominates. I really liked the experience and would stay there again!
