Great location

We have stayed at this hotel on many occasions and cannot fault the service we have received. Location is great- close to many tourist attractions including the blue mosque and Sofia Hagia. On the down side, a new bar has opened up across the hotel and unfortunately they have music blaring until 3am! Breakfast was also basic compared to previous years.

A very close property to the popular attractions in Istanbul. I would suggest staying in a small hotel, as we did. Highly personal attention from the staff. Each member of the staff was very concerned about your experience with them and our stay in their country.

Great small hotel with excellent location

We had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating and would go above and beyond for your request. The hotel was clean and location was excellent. Only comment was there should be more shelf and hooks in the bathroom (the room I stayed has 0). Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again next time
