I researched alot of hotels in Instanbul because I found negative reviews. I would definitely recommend ths hotel. The service was excellent, the breakfast was amazing with beautiful views of the mosques. The hotel is in the touristy part of the city, but its a great location and central part of the sights. The T1 tram line stop is one block down with atms and machines for Istanbulkarts. Everyone is very helpful in the hotel is you need something. The rooms and bathrooms are very nice and clean. There were three of us with three twin beds and plenty of room. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Overpriced hotel in a good location. Basic and small rooms. Pictures looked better than the actual property. You can hear all your neighbors. Comfortable beds and a/c worked well. Breakfast terrace with amazing view but only average food. Great service from every employee.

Needing some maintenance

We stayed in a triple room which was fairly close to the photos except for the following: the grout in the shower walls had mold and there were cracks around the drain. On the beds there was no top sheet rather only a thin blanket. So in all the room felt like it needed maintenance. Apart from this the breakfast area on the roof had an amazing view of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia plus the breakfast had a good variety.
