The view of the harbour and Blue Mosque are gorgeous! Walking distance to Sultanahmet hot spots. Lots of restaurants nearby. We booked a triple room and it was so spacious, more of a suite than a room. Highly recommend this option (and we were just a couple in this room) The staff were beyond awesome- the ladies serving breakfast were lovely. But by far, the most impressive were the two guys on reception- we had a flat tyre and don’t speak Turkish- they contacted the rental company to organise roadside assistance and then also organised a quote from a local repairer and had them come and fix it. All in an hour or so- absolutely legendary! We loved our stay here and in our two weeks of touring Turkey, this hotel was a highlight.

Parking is impossible- but that’s everywhere in Istanbul.

The hotel is perfect in many respects! Beautiful view from the windows is a great advatage, but even better is the view from the terrace overlooking the Bosporus and Asian cost! The terrace is used for the breakfast which lavish and healthy. The staff is really friendly! Among them one perticular member is the cat which is waiting with for the elevator! But cats in Istanbul are rather tourist friendly. From the terrace one may also look at the blue mosque. We had a perfect five-day stay at the hotel and plan to return soon.

Part of the painting is bathroom needs repainting.

The property was exactly what we expected which was great. There were no surprises. Rooms were spacious, facilities were functional and good. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was great - turkish style with a fair variety of dishes. The terrace on top was lovely for relaxing in the afternoon and looking at the view. Peaceful, clean, spacious accommodation with great staff.

The hotel is a bit further from the sights - about 8 minute walk frm blue mosque etc but this balances with the quiet street that it’s on for sleeping at night.

Very nice room, more like a suite, comfortable beds, modern bathroom, and lovely roof top terrace for breakfast with a lovely view. The owner and his staff went out of their way to be very welcoming and were invaluable in helping us find outstanding restaurants within walking distance. I am returning to Istanbul after my visit to Kalkan and am staying at the same hotel—I would not stay anywhere else. It was great!

I really can’t think of anything. The hotel offers great accommodations for the price.

The room was not only comfortable but also well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay. Moreover, the hotel's prime location was a significant highlight, as it was incredibly convenient for exploring iconic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia. One of the most memorable experiences was the breakfast served on the terrace, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and the Blue Mosque. It was a true feast for the senses. The chef's culinary skills were truly exceptional, as they crafted a breakfast that felt more like a lavish lunch, impressing me with their creativity and attention to detail. The staff, including the chef, were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home during my stay. Overall, I can confidently say that this hotel provided an outstanding experience that left me with fond memories and a desire to return in the future.

The glass covering the bedside tables posed a safety concern for children, and the nighttime lighting was too bright and disruptive for others when using the bathroom.

Location of this great hotel - close to many attractions & must-see places, Desk staff - easy communication & very helpful, Breakfast - very tasty with many options, Kitchen ladies - very carrying & lovely, Great roof terrace - perfect for breakfasts and also to spend late evenings with amazing view I will gladly return 🥰👌😍

Maybe hotel staff can think of possibility of turning off the lights on the terrace at night... better night view options 👌😍

Hotel staff were amazing 😻 they helped us with everything we needed, to book a restaurant for us and even found for us good taxi when our transfer (which we booked with another company) didn’t come. Everyone was very friendly and the cook taught us a few words in Turkish. We are very grateful for their hospitality. Hotel is in perfect area, everything is very close. The furniture and repairs seem to have been done recently, so our stay was very comfortable and beautiful. We had room with balcony and the view was amazing 😻 Totally will come back to this hotel if we are in Istanbul ❤️

Very helpful staff would like to thankyou Izzettin especially night shift he was fantastic,friendly in helping us organising our days.This place is worth recommending to all close to all that you want to see.Only issue we had the sun glazing all day on balcony could not sit out there umbrella would have been great so we could take advantage.

Nothing to comment about all was what we expected nothing to complain about.

If I go back to Istanbul, this is the hotel I will most probably go back to. Wel located, behind Sultan Ahmed mosque, about 700m from tram line 1. Small, quiet and pleasant hotel. Clean, Nice staff. Breakfast room on the 6th floor with views on Sultan Ahmed and the sea.

The good thing is it's around the corner from Istanbul's top attractions Sultan Ahmed & Ayasofia mosque. At the same time you're in one of Istanbul's most touristic areas. We travelled in December (low season) and for us it was perfect. I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, the number of days you're staying and what your priorities are.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable hotel in downtown Istanbul, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The hotel's location in downtown Istanbul is fantastic, providing easy access to key attractions and the vibrant energy of the city. However, what truly sets this establishment apart is the mesmerizing sea view that it offers. Our room, with its large windows, provided a panoramic spectacle of the Marmara Sea that left us in awe. The real gem of our stay was the terrace with a 180-degree view of Istanbul. It was an absolute delight to enjoy breakfast with such a breathtaking backdrop. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. The level of service provided by the hotel staff was beyond exemplary. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. It felt as though we were staying with friends who were genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. It was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining high standards. In conclusion, if you're looking for a hotel that is budget friendly and has breathtaking views and a welcoming atmosphere in downtown Istanbul, look no further.
