Love this place. Excellent location to main attractions. Great helpful, professional and friendly staff. Ermre went above and beyond to assist us. He attended our luggages after check out in order for us to continue enjoying the day until departure; to arranging transportation to the airport. Thank you so much Emre and the rest of the staff.
the location was very central, very good location and the staff was lovely. i would have preferred to have the room in the main building, but overall very good!
The hotel is in perfect location for visiting main attractions in sultan ahmet.
The room for three adults was spacious, bed was comfortable.
Wi-Fi was excellent.
Staff were very helpful.
Transport is easily accessible, tram is best to reach various areas quickly.
Breakfast buffet was very with good which had a good variety..
The staff are dedicated to your well-being and comfort. The breakfast is sumptuous and the manager Erhan makes sure you want for nothing. A pleasure to stay here
Lovely staff. Erhan at the breakfast area was simply a lovely, happy man who surprised my son with a birthday cake. The young man who helps with suitcases was lovely too. Hotel is near most attractions. Rooftop restaurant at night is a must. View to Hagia Sophia and Blue mosque
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We felt very welcomed and extremely well looked after by all their staff. We arrived early and the check in staff managed to get a room ready for us ahead of schedule which we greatly appreciated.
During breakfast we were looked after by Erhan who was very friendly and helpful. Warisha also made us feel very welcome.
Great location - highly recommend this hotel
Located literally 5 mins away from Hagia sophia! so the location is prime. The staff was warm and welcoming and very helpful. They helped with transportation services as well. breakfast was buffet style and they have tons of restaurant options.
I liked everything from complementary breakfast, front desk staff to the spacious lounge. The only thing I am not great about is the size of the room. I have never lived in such a small room any hotel I lived in while travelled worldwide. But the great services by staff off set for the room size.

We booked a superior room it wasn't good,bathroom light didn't work,aircon didnt work,the safe locked our stuff in it couldn't open till engineer came the next day,then had to stay in all morning till he turned up,when you book for 3nights its a pain.did get upgraded but went to that room had no soap,shampoo.would like some compensation but don't no were to start.
The hotel was a little hard to find from the Sultanhamen tram/ metro station but people were very helpful when we asked. When we got to the hotel, the staff were great helping us check in. We had booked a family room and did have to walk out of the hotel and around the corner to get to the room. After a days' traveling I was not impressed, however the room more than made up for it. It was luxurious, large and the kids loved it. There were two single proper beds for the kids, not trundles. They had their own room with tv and we parents had our own room with tv and huge king bed.
The hotel is walking distance to Aya Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the various shops. We also walked to the Grand Bazaar which took about 15 minutes.
My young son and I had a Turkish massage/ bath and I did find it a little disappointing. However, this is probably only because I am quite familiar with this and that the lady who looked after me was Russian and somehow in Turkey I had expected someone more authentic.
We left very early the next morning to do the Gallipoli tour and we told the hotel that we would need breakfast at 6am and would that be a problem because the hotel dining room we noticed was not open until 7am. They said that they would arrange something which I foolishly believed to be room service of some sort. It was not until 6.15 when we actually went to the lobby to ask where breakfast was that they pointed to the dining room. Best to clarify what they mean beforehand I guess.
