Nur, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location and service are 1st rate. You will not find a better location or a nice group of people. If you are going to Istanbul, this is just steps away from every major site that Istanbul has to offer.

10/10 Excellent

Best location in Sultanahmet, Istanbul

This has to be the best location in Sultanahmet, Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque and Basilica all across the street. Very safe and interesting neighborhood. Good free breakfast and friendly staff. The bathroom is slightly dated, rooms are smaller, but location, location and location. We like it and recommend it highly.
Sam, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel was in a great location right by the main attractions in Old Town. Rooms were nice but the bathroom door was sheer and so the light poured into the entire room. And the shower door would not close fully so water got everywhere. Since taxis can’t come down direct to the hotel, it was somewhat confusing for some drivers, but a quick 3 minute walk to another stop was no issue. Staff was extremely attentive though and very helpful.

Perfect location within easy walking distance of key iconic sites.Pleasant,very clean rooms with two comfortable lounge/bar areas and a wide choice of beautifully served breakfast options. The staff are outstanding, invariably friendly and helpful. The front desk is always staffed with personnel who have a good working knowledge of English and provide practical help in booking excursions,buying tickets, confirming reservations and mastering the public transport system. This hotel goes the extra yard in removing hassles and ensuring a comfortable and relaxing holiday. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Istanbul
