We used the hotel for a school group visit. The staff couldn’t do enough to help us Cihan the manager helped us organise a coach for a days out to Canilica and Eyüp. Breakfast cooked by Ablas was fantastic. They tried to vary the breakfast. Every morning was delicious. The hotel was warm. Showers were really powerful. The power Ayub came to say goodbye when we left. The children treated the hotel staff to a show of singing and dance. The location was so convenient. Basically we could walk everywhere. The shop next door sold most things that we needed and was a valuable asset to the school group. A local bakery was frequented every morning to pick up fresh bread. I have thought long and hard about what they could do to improve. I suggested they expand and they told me they were opening the Esve hotel. Fab people with a family touch. I have stayed a couple of times more. Keep up the great work Cihan and team.

We recently with my family stayed at this hotel for 7 nights with breakfast included, and it was a fantastic experience from location that very close to Hagia Sophia and blue mosque also just a short walk to the tram station, staff were incredibly helpful and friendly Ekram and the one in night shift I forgot to ask his name always willing to help whatever ask them with smile and welcoming and provided us with map highlighted with the attraction place which made it easier to visit.. food was delicious 👌.. Also the hotel provided us with transfere from and to the airport with hassle free ..we had a great time and unforgettable experience I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and sure when back to Istanbul I will stay there again...

Nothing happy with all service provided

The position of the hotel Is strategical with respect to attractions and transportation. It Is in a rather touristic but really nice neighborhood as well, with restaurants, convenience stores where you can buy Turkish SIM cards and other commodities. The hotel staff people are super kind and effettive in giving advices and solving issues. One general advice: buy the "Istanbul card" ASAP. It Is a transportation card wich allows you to use tram, buses, ferries. The "Sultanhamet" tram stop Is a 5 minutes walk away from the hotel and you can reach the whole city starting from there.

Staff are very helpful, polite and kind, I would like to thank them all. The room is clean and the decent in size. The best thing is the location, very close to all attractions, vibrant area and very safe

Breakfast is very limited compared to other breakfasts in Turkey, most of the days I skipped breakfast and ate somewhere outside because it lacks variety. The rooms has no enough sound proofing so it’s noisy specially during weekends sometimes, but over all I loved this hotel and it’s a family business that I would support again

We booked a family room and a double room. The rooms were side by side as we requested. Both were quite spacious (bigger than the majority of the hotels) and well equipped. Shower and hot water were nice with good water pressure. The matresses on the beds were very confortable (medium/hard as we like). Cleaness was 5 stars with daily cleaning service and towels change. Wifi is also very good with enough speed and coverage of the bedrooms. Both bedrooms had heating system and Air conditioned. Free water and coffee on the bedrooms. The location of the hotel is perfect near a lots of restaurantes in the center of Sultanahmet area. Public transports (tram T1 line) is 400 meters from the hotel. For sure we'll return in a future and we can recomend this hotel.

The only things we can comment are: - Breakfast could have more varied although has the minimum required. - The soundproofing of the rooms could be better.

We stayed in the hotel for 10 days in September 2024 The location was vibrant and within a few minutes walking distance of the main attractions of the Sultanahmet It is next to many good restaurants providing delicious food at reasonable prices. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was kept immaculate, and the breakfasts most enjoyable with plenty of variety. The hotel lift is a great bonus. The view across the Bosphorus is wonderful. It was outstanding.

Nothing we can say wrong about it.

This is an excellent choice for tourists who want to visit the sights of the old city in Istanbul because of its location. The staff were very friendly, kind and patient with us. Breakfast was also good with lots of choice and the scrambled eggs were very tasty. The most worth mentioning thing is that the view from the room is very romantic and wonderful. We can watch the sunrise over the sea from the bed in the room.

The only drawback is that the shower room does not have a removable shower head.

Wali on reception was exceptional. He helped with his local knowledge of places to eat. He smiled every time he saw us and nothing was ever too much trouble. He gave us directions and generally made our stay a fantastic experience. We have booked again next year. Ikram also on reception was very accommodating.

The bars across the road can be a little noisy but didn’t really interfere with us. Much the opposite it gave the street a little atmosphere.

Excellent location …a huge factor in choice. Close to major attractions and public transport. Many restaurants, a food market, boutique stores within walking minutes. Lively and fun area. Loved my room: spacious, wonderful views of the Bosporus Straight, lots of light. Plenty of choices for breakfast which was served in an attractive space.

Would recommend more info on tours. There may have been info that I missed but it wasn’t obvious.

Location and rooms were lovely , fantastic view . One person in particular was amazing on reception, Just ONE very friendly and helpful ,

Breakfast , coffee and breakfast room a bit dull . Not a particularly nice environment, unfriendly and basic breakfast. Really let’s the lovely hotel down. We were unlucky in that other guests in the hotel were very greedy and took a lot of the food piled high for themselves which meant there was no fresh scrambled egg etc . Each morning.
