We had a long layover in Istanbul, so decided to leave the airport and spend the night and morning in the city. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the tram station and less than ten minutes from all the major sites (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, etc.) We arrived at the hotel late at night and the staff were very friendly and quick in getting us into our room. They upgraded us to a corner suite free of charge, as well. The room was large and clean and nicely decorated. There was also a tub, which is a big bonus. The view was great; we could see what was going on on the street below while eating our dinner. The breakfast buffet was varied, but not anything over-the-top. The only complaints I have is that the bed was not terribly comfortable, but it didn't matter for one night, and the wifi was not very fast. I would definitely stay here again!
We had a very good experience in this hotel. At the beginning we thought it was not what we expect. it is a small hotel, reception very simple, But after staying there we found it was the best place to stay in Istanbul
the hotel is strictly okay. its location is awesome coz you can walk it everywhere from there and the tram stops right outside. the room was old even thought it was apparently a "suite", and the bed was quite uncomfortable. they kept it clean though which was nice, but i couldn't see myself living there more than 2 nights. i guess most hotels in that neighborhood are old and tiny like this one so there isn't much choice
All you need - great location, awesome staff, very clean...,no conplsints....
Friendly staff Clean hotel Great location next to metro Breakfast very good selections
Pleasantly surprised at the experience in this small hotel located right in the centre of all action on Sultanahmet. Our room a Terrace Room 404 may have no view but was a very quiet place at the back of the road . The breakfast offering was top class & all staff were very helpful& accommodating . We are going to stay here in our future visits to this exciting city
The hotel was in a very good location and close to the main attractions. The breakfast could have more varies, it was the same thing very day. The cab that I took to the hotel dropped me at the top of the street and told me the hotel is down the street. I refused to get out and the cab to me closer which was across the street. The street car runs along the main street but the driver did not explain that to me. This is my first time and pulling my luggage to the hotel was no fun. The hotel transportation was not at the airport.
Good attention on from desk people,details the best point to visit.
Good location; good prices. Within walking distance to most major sites.
