I loved my stay here. The hotel itself is so beautiful, you feel transported upon arriving. The rooms are also very beautiful and the view we had was breathtaking. The staff was also extremely helpful and nice during our entire stay. One the best experiences I’ve ever had at a hotel. Only complaint is that they keep the hotel and rooms pretty warm which can be uncomfortable but you can lower your room temperature.

This is a nice and conveniently located hotel. The rooms are however very small. We only stayed here for a night, which was ok, but for longer stays they seem too crammed.

This is an older character hotel in an outstanding location with beautiful views of both the sea and the Blue Mosque. They serve very good and varied breakfasts in their dining room with a view of the sea. Everything was clean. The shower is a bit weird with the hammam bowl in the middle of it and the bathroom in our 3rd floor side room was pretty cramped. But the views are unbeatable!

This could be an exceptional hotel if simple upgrades were provided like better quality bed pillows, linens and towels. The Ottoman style bathroom is unique but poorly functional. This style belongs in a hammam not a little hotel room. The coffee and lentil soup is dismal. Breakfast is good. This hotel is in a wonderful location, walking distance to all the old city attractions! Sumptuous decoration but rooms are somewhat shabby.

Perfect location for main tourist attractions in Istanbul - Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sofia all within short walking distance. Cafes, restaurants and public transport all within easy reach. Helpful reception staff - nothing too much trouble. Breakfast - a wide variety of local and traditional food, again with friendly, helpful, courteous staff.
