Excellent location just outside the Blue Mosque and next to the square with Haiga Sofia. Property has own private grounds as well. Rooms are very cozy. Breakfast very nice and at room overlooking Bosphorus, so can watch sunrise and sunsets. Staff very attentive And goes above … delivered luggage to 3rd floor room as there is no elevator. Moreover receptionist walked me outside after check out and made sure that I used the correct taxi for a ride, so not to get scammed … All in All - Liked it much … When / If back - would stay again. Recc with No Reservations…

This hotel is conveniently located to all major area attractions. The staff is very accommodating and the free breakfast every morning is sufficient and decent quality to start your day. We had two rooms with a family of four people. Both rooms were clean and nice except the bathrooms are very small and were probably converted from a bath to a makeshift shower, We could manage so it was not that bad. The cleaning service was excellent. We will recommend this hotel for the value of the money and convenience.

The location is great, but the rooms are small and dated. The breakfast was dire and the service in the restaurant was terrible. The saving grace were the front of house and “bell man” who were extremely attentive. The housekeeper/cleaner on the 2nd floor was unhelpful and aggressive I wouldn’t stay again.

One can't beat the location if staying in Sultanahmet. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bed is very comfortable. The rooms are not sound proof especially if your room is located near the main stairs. But it does not matter, as the call to prayer will wake you up anyway :) Wonderful fish restaurant closer to the Marmara sea and in 10 min walking distance. The bathrooms are in traditional Turkish style with a basin . There is also a shower and it could be attached to the wall. In our room we were not able to take a standing shower because the basin took up all the room. One can get used to it though. If you want a cab to the airport, arrange it through the hotel. Much easier and the price is better. The breakfast in the morning is nice but does not change day to day. They do serve custom made omelets.

Location Location was perfect - so close to all attractions in the Old Town. Room size It was fine - not massive but did the job. It was clean throughout. Bathroom The bathroom was too small. You need to walk into the shower area to get to the toilet. I actually have a bruise from hitting the ledge when trying to exit the bathroom. The shower curtain has to rest on the toilet brush which we thought was unhygenic. Whilst the hammam bathroom looks good, it was very slippy which is not good for older people. Breakfast The view was beautiful but the food was not good except the honey from an actual honeycomb. The juices were all carton drinks. This is not what I was expecting from a Turkish breakfast. Service The service was brilliant. Halleel (man on reception in evening) was lovely and so knowledgable. He is a credit to the hotel.

Amazing hotel. Located in the heart of the old historic centre, within easy walking distance of all sites. We had a great room with balcony, and views facing directly on the Blue Mosque and the Sea. Hotel is immaculately clean, with Palace type furnishings and decor, with traditional hammam bathroom, very comfortable bed, fridge, tea-coffee facilities, safe-box, sofa. Very friendly and professional staff, all if them always go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Very good buffet breakfast with both hot and cold food. And a lovely garden. The hotel is a haven of peace and tranquillity away from the frenzy of the city. Highly recommended.
