Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The huge balcony with a view of the Bosphorus was stunning, but the thin walls made for some restless nights. The service was top-notch, and the location was perfect for exploring the city center. The dining was a delightful Turkish experience, but the tired rooms could use some improvement.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was clean and organized; they even printed documents for me for free. The staff was helpful and always looked after the guests. The location was perfect, close to everything, making it convenient to explore the city. The dining experience was okay, but some items were at an additional cost. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming hotel.
The hotel was conveniently located, with easy access to main attractions. The room matched the picture, with a spacious double bed, TV, wardrobe, and a private bathroom.

The location was excellent, close to key landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The dining experience offered delicious and authentic Turkish cuisine. Overall, a great stay for those wanting to explore Sultanahmet and the old town.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its spacious, unpretentious rooms offering a view of the Bosphorus from a huge balcony. The bed was comfortable, although the fridge didn't seem to be cooling properly. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, even arranging a room change for us. The location was excellent, close to many tourist sites without needing transportation. Overall, a great value for a comfortable and clean stay.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the rooms were a bit small and lacked good lighting, the friendly breakfast staff and convenient location made the experience worthwhile. However, the absence of in-room tea making facilities and limited breakfast choices were drawbacks.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with the staff being very friendly and helpful. The dining experience could be improved, but the service and location are great value for money.
