Clean & tidy.

Very nice, clean and tidy hotel. Location is near to the attractions but all the surrounding roads have quite steep inclines so you need to be fit. Nearby is the Blue Bottle bar - this is the place to eat and drink.

A truly wonderful hotel. I come to Istanbul a few times a year and have stayed in many hotels in the area / price range. This hotel is outstanding in all areas - from the staff, to the standard of the rooms, and the delicious and varied breakfast. I will be back and will be recommending it to others!

Hotel is still in great condition for being in old town. Maybe a 5-8 minute walk to the blue mosque. Breakfast that is included is just ok. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Also 10 euro to send out a bag of laundry to have washed dried and folded on return. Seemed like a great deal since places around were 250 per kg.

We had amazing stay. Very good location, walking distance to lot of attractions, restaurants, shops, public transport. Room looked nice, it was spacious and clean, comfortable bed, good shower. Breakfast was good but starts at 8 AM, which seems little late, if you have plans in the morning. But over all we had great time and would stay again.
