Staff are all lovely people, kind and attentive. The price-value is on point. Breakfast was more than enough with a really beautiful view to put one in a good mood every morning. Location is great, super close to the tram and Grand Bazaar and two stations away from Sultahnamet, most times it was more fun to just walk than taking public transport. If I’m back to Istanbul will definitely stay again.

The covers of the bed are a little rough

The place is very communicative, it is close to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, restaurants and shops, the street is relatively quiet. The staff is very kind and responsive, especially thanks to Sofia and Tolga!

The hotel is quite noisy, renovations start very early around and in the hotel and all this could be heard in our room, there is no soundproofing. The room was small, but it was not a problem for us. We wanted the room to be cleaned because we were staying for 4 nights, we left a sign, but no one came...

I think my comments will be a little bit special as I travelled with my family and also my mother who was on wheelchair… Having a kind staff who are reassuring me at any time when I’m outside the hotel and looking for my mother for any need, this is very exceptionnel ❤️❤️❤️ Sophia , exceptional and angle woman , she is not a “just normal staff’… she is dealing with everyone as he / she is member of her family … looking and thinking for every details to make our stay amazing and comfortable … really I will never forget your kindness and your help and support… thanks a lot Dina and Fatos for your great effort every morning to provide us a breakfast with an amazing smile and looking for any special need for my mother In general all the staff are great , Borak ..,,, The location is also close to grand bazar

I will not recommand it if you have with you old person who need taxi or wheelchair to go outside the hotel as the taxi are bailable only before 10 am and after 6am However , if I will come back to Istanbul I will choose again the same hotel as I’m in general very satisfied

Big private balcony with view of blue mosque and the sea, very nice to sit and relax after a day sightseeing. Location was great, walking distance (like 10-15 min) to grand bazaar and blue mosque. Great views from the breakfast restaurant. Breakfast was good, simple but tasty. The woman in the reception was very helpful and nice. WiFi worked good.

The place was a bit worn down, the door to the room was almost broken, not possible to lock the balcony door, warm water not always available, the elevator was very noisy, no safety deposit box, restaurant personnel did not speak English. The taxi the hotel booked for us to the airport was not nice, no air conditioning, belts not working and driver not speaking English.

You couldn't get a more friendly person at the check-in, we were late and Sophie didn't say anything about that, and was kindly waiting for us! She spoke English which is a bonus as other places that I have been have spoken broken English and whatever comes out of that sometimes won't be pleasant! Sophie was happy to help and recommend places to visit/dine in, and I believe it's those little helpful tips that help you when your visiting for a few days! Thanks again Sophie hope to be back soon!

The bed was very comfy but it was making some noise and I think it needs to be tightened up, that's IT! 😁

Firstly, the breakfast was good and plentiful. Everything was ready in a timely manner and the servers were helpful. A lot of Turkish items were served but I was still acquiring the taste for them. However, I particularly enjoyed the tea which brought back memories of the tea my mother used to serve when I was a child. In sum total, the breakfast had something for everyone. Next, I appreciated the cleanliness of my room and bathroom. Also, the location was very close to shops and restaurants where prices were extremely reasonable. Additionally, I loved the big terrace with the great view of the city and the sea. Finally, The air-conditioning as well as the internet worked very well.

My room was tiny and windowless.

The hotel is in close proximity to all attractions like Grandbasaar, Sophia Haggai /Blue Mosque. It’s also close to the tram, we literally walked to all places. There are authentic restaurants in the area. The chef was incredible as she made a delicious breakfast every morning and Sophia, the manager made sure our stay was awesome. She allowed early check in, recommended places to visit Kadikoy and kept our luggage for us as our journey was continuing to Antalya.

I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel for a few nights, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the warm welcome at the reception to the smooth check-out, everything was perfect. The staff was exceptionally friendly and always ready to assist with a smile. Especially Sophia thank you so much for your help and recommendation. The hotel’s location is excellent, very close to the Train Station (Beyazid station) making it easy to explore the area.

The staff were all great, we were greeted and given lots of really useful recommendations. They were also kind enough to let us leave our luggage after check in for the day while we did some more exploring. Breakfast was nice, a pretty good selection. The room was super clean and we had everything we needed there. Thanks very much! Also location is great to walk to lots of the key sites. Very close to Aksaray for the metro to the Otogar and to access the tram to get to the asian side

Honestly not much, perhaps even more breakfast selection, but I was more than happy with my stay!

Location and Staff were amazing! Breakfast had a nice view on the rooftop and had some good options.

Room & bathroom was very small and pictures were deceiving, the window was so high up we couldn’t see outside and had another window connecting to the hallway that was blocked off with newspapers. Towels were rough and very old/used. Hotel could definitely use some upgrades.
