Little Gem in Sultanahmet

We had a great time - the location is fantastic - a couple of mintes from tram stations and major attractions. The service was excellent and the owners were very friendly. The room we stayed in was a bit small, but this is quite normal for hotels in the old city and definitely great value for money.

Nice stay close to Sultanahmet

Very convenient location to Sultanahmet with Tram stop just 5 min away and lots of restaurants and coffee options in the Main Street. The staff were very nice and helpful and it almost felt like you are staying in your friends house. The only slight negative was the noise on the street below as it’s a busy area with restaurants and some music being played but it got all quiet roughly after 1 am. For the price I paid it was good value!

The hotel is strategically located walking distance to visit most of the attractions of Istambul. The people who work there are very friendly and love helping the guests. Nice breakfast in a petit area they have at the entrance. The hotel is small but comfortable, it has elevator in case guests need to go to the Upper floors.it better to stay in the second floor upwards, since it is easily heard the noise or conversations in the lobby if you are staying in the first floor. Finally, the área is sorrounded by good restaurants.
