Very nice small hôtel. Extremely well situated. Good breakfast. Small rooms. Reasonably priced

For the price this hotel is very well located to the main sights and tram stops. Despite being located in a very busy area, the hotel itself is on a little quiet road and it was peaceful all night.

Breakfast service was poor, and stuff was not polite. We had to catch early morning flight and seems like they didn’t care.

Small boutique hotel strategically located near the most famous attractions and walkable distance from most places. Good breakfast on a nice terrace with nice views. Couple of things to improve: air con wasn’t efficient and hot water at busy periods was like dripping our (lack of pressure, a pump should be installed). Other than that, free coffee and biscuits offered between 5-7pm Would definitely recommend

Inexpensive hotel right down the street from the Hagie Sophia. Hotel was clean, breakfast was good, staff was very friendly. At that price point I was expecting less, so I was very happy with this hotel. Would stay here again.

Fantastic location for main attractions, Less than ten minutes from blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Very clean, helpful and courteous staff. Good variety at breakfast, tea, coffee, hot and cold buffet style. Nice touch with tea, coffee between 5 and 7 every day. Can see Hagia Sophia from breakfast area which is on roof. Within five min walk of two tram station s Gulhane and Sultanahmet. Room service everyday and tea coffee making facility in room. Would definitely return.

Excellent budget option near all the sights in Sultanahmet. Very friendly staff, nice clean room, comfortable bed, and great breakfast with a view. They also stored our luggage for us before and after we checked out so we could explore town. I would stay here again.

The terrace for breakfast and afternoon tea is wonderful – view of the Zeynep Sultan mosque directly adjoining and the Hagia Sophia behind it. Wonderful place to relax before/after spending time in a busy city. The very friendly staff made me feel very welcome and my stay was especially enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay. The front desk attendant was very friendly and helpful. He recommended a local restaurant which was a BIG win! Housekeeping did a fantastic job providing a clean room. The breakfast area offers a restful area overlooking Hagia Sofia.
