Spacious, clean and comfortable

The hotel is good location, European area of Istanbul. The room is new and clean, they provide relax tea for first night of check in to calm you down from the mess of Istanbul taxi. It’s walking distance to Aiyasofia and blue mosque. The manager is helpful and friendly, he gave a lot of tips about Istanbul.

This is a former traditional Istanbul house that has cleverly been converted into an elegant boutique hotel. The hotel manager and small team of housekeepers are exceptional.

Great location, close to all attractions in Sultanahmet. The property manager Elpher was such a gentleman, he helped us out with our luggage and provided information about the area. Breakfast was great and the property itself was great exactly as in the pictures.
