Can't count how many times I have stayed here. Years pass but my appreciation for this place is eternal. Everybody is ready to help, the guys at the reception can help with any arrangements, we enjoyed our check-in earlier in the morning. Location of the hotel is perfect, especially if you come to İstanbul for the first time or wanna stay close to central historical square. But... the most incredible thing that makes me choose this hotel again and again is the tastiest homemade breakfast ever. Thus, a lot of thanks to the whole hotel crew and especially to Yeliz hanım and her tasty meals that were giving us the energy for the whole day of sightseeing around 🤗

When I arrived at the hotel, the Receptionist Rejeb was very nice and helpful. He allowed me for early check in. He even helped me booked day tour and bosphorous sunset tour. The other staffs Efef and Efe and the two ladies were also nice and answered all my queries. I was given a nice room with a view of the sea. Room are cleaned and they changed the towels everyday. The breakfast area is at the rooftop with good view of the sea. Near restaurants and shopping area. Walking distance to Hajia Sofia and Blue Mosque..10-15 mins walk.

There was no elevator, but they will help you with your luggage going to your room. No kettle, tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast is basic.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the hotel, largely thanks to the incredible staff. They were not only friendly but also exceptionally warm, attentive, and eager to assist with any request. Efe, Rejib, and possibly Ahmed (though I may have forgotten the exact name) stood out as some of the kindest and most approachable individuals I’ve encountered. They were always smiling, ready to help, and went above and beyond to ensure that guests felt welcome and well taken care of. The hotel itself was spotless, and the location was ideal for sightseeing, with iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque just a short distance away. For shopping, I highly recommend exploring Eminonu instead of the Grand Bazaar. It's much cheaper for buying gifts, food, and all kinds of items you might want to take home from your trip. Everything here is affordable, making it a great spot for those looking to pick up souvenirs. The Bosphorus tour was also easily arranged for a very reasonable 20 euros through the hotel staff. For those booking a room, I’d recommend reviewing the room photos beforehand, as I found my room to be a bit smaller than expected, though this was a minor detail. Overall, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made my stay unforgettable!

The room at the top floor was lovely, the view from the terrace where we has breakfast was served was fantastic. The best bit about the hotel was the location, you can walk everywhere. Also the staff was very helpful, our flight was delayed by 2.5 hours and we worried whether the reception will be open during the night. Arrived at the hotel at 2am and as soon as we got to the hotel door, the receptionist opened the door for us as they were waiting for us to arrive which was really lovely.

The noise during the night, bring ear plugs and you will be fine.

Room 504 has an amazing view of the harbor. Breakfast was simple, but tasty and unique. The staff was simply amazing and friendly. They booked anything we needed and took payment for everything.

Our mattress was a bit uncomfortable but I was so tired at the end of the day, it didn't matter! Narrow stairwell to the upper rooms so having small luggage is best. Internet connection was not stable in our room, so I had to work in the lobby.

Oh! The most amazing thing about this little bed and breakfast hotel was the view from the roof-top-terrace where breakfast was served. It's gorgeous. you have a full view of the Marmara Sea and parts of the old city. The breakfast was a continental breakfast.

No good options for American-styled breakfast. The room was comfy, but the building seems to be tilted so the floor in the room was noticeably not level (maybe 2-5 degrees). The view from the 3rd floor room was a bit grimy but it gave a nice feel of being a part of the old-city.

Staff was so friendly and accommodating, they helped us with transportation, organized everything for us. We were a big family of 13 they were very patient with us, and so accommodating that we felt like home. Hotel is 6 minutes from main attraction and one block from the street that has all bars restaurants and shops open all night long

Everything was great

Location of the hotel is in the centre,near Hagia Sofia,Blue Mosque,Basilica Cistern and Topkapi.It is possible to park your car at the hotel but you must leave the key to the reception.Very good breakfast and the lady who prepares it is very kind.

Cleanliness is not the strong point, but towels are changed every day. The apartment i stayed in needs urgent repairs and is very old.

Location of the hotel is excellent. The staff is ready to help all the time. Parking in front of the hotel is available, too. Breakfast is nice and view from the terrace is amaizing. We would like to give a special greeting to Efe (both of them) from reception and the head chef in the kitchen.

The location is excellent. You are very close to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace and the Blue Mosque. When you want to explore other areas of Istanbul such as Besiktas or Beyoglu you can simply use public transport (tram) or a taxi via uber, taxi will cost you approximently 5€ (200 TL).

Breakfast could have a little more variation in the food options.
