Fabulous hotel in old town

This boutique hotel is great for a very central stay in Istanbul, it is so well located. All the staff was very friendly and so welcoming. The breakfast is fabulous too! I would definitely recommend this hitel for a family stay or a couple's holiday. It's a real gem.

This property is a charming gem. Great location, charming rooms, great roof top deck, superb breakfast and wonderful people. Close to all Istanbul attractions, good restaurants and transportation. Our room was on the small side, but had all we needed, with charming antique accents. Very quiet, since we faced the back. Would definitely return there.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast they serve is amazing (and huge!) with eggs, fruit,pastries and a number of Turkish dishes. Our room was huge and incredibly charming! Bed was very comfortable. They had tea and coffee in the room and a small fridge with drinks and snacks. You could walk from the hotel to ALL of the sites, it’s so well located for sites, restaurants and shopping. I strongly recommend this charming boutique hotel. You will love it! They even took a poloroid of us in the dining room on our last morning for use to keep. So sweet!

Very good location. Walking distance to many major sights and near to restaurants. The area was safe and lively but not loud. Staff were helpful. They arranged a dinner cruise for us one evening and helped us with transportation back to the airport. Their breakfast was very good with fresh cooked eggs, fresh bread and many Turkish salads served with a variety of fruits and cheeses. The rooms, while smaller than I had expected, were very nice, clean and well decorated. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and a dental kit. Plenty of hot water and were very clean. I would definitely stay here next time. The location alone makes it ideal but the staff and the lovely rooms made it extra special.

Great location in very clean and friendly hotel

Very smart, clean and historic property. Only minutes from Sultanhamet square and tram stop. Lovely bathroom. Bed a bit low and soft for us but thats personal choice. Had suite room. For information there were no welcome drinks or fondue but we got a free sweet every day. There was no Netflix ( unless you had your own password??) No free soft drinks or sweets from minibar, price list displayed! Did not bother us as did not need these freebies but it may annoy some people. View from window poor but no big deal. Very noisy at prayer times but we were next to multiple mosques. Breakfast was massive, much of it uneaten on all tables, so a bit of a waste Lovely towels and bedding. Loads of hot water and toiletries Good air conditionong Well worth the money

charm and character

"Following my recent visit to Istanbul, I would like to share my exceptional experience with the miniature hotel I have chosen. As a solo traveller, I carefully compared the options in Istanbul, and it really won my heart through online searches. My four-night stay last December exceeded all my expectations. First of all, the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was simply extraordinary, and the atmosphere created by the staff added a special dimension every morning. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay, thanks to the impeccable cleanliness of the hotel. The hotel's privileged location, in the heart of the old town and a few minutes from the tram, made my trips very convenient. The quality of the catering, the general atmosphere and the breakfast room were aspects that I particularly appreciated. The roof offering a perfect panoramic view for my afternoon telework sessions. I highly recommend this hotel at 100%. For an optimal experience, I suggest requesting rooms on the upper floors, thus avoiding possible first floor noises from the reception during the night. For me, this hotel undeniably deserves a 10 out of 10. Happy stay to future travellers!"
