Location very good, quiet except at prayer time as I could see the Hagia Sophia from my window. The property is being renovated, which should be completed soon, and some of the rooms were out of use. As a result I was given a bigger room than I expected. The staff were very helpful. Due to the renovations one breakfast was taken in the adjacent cafe but both the breakfast at the hotel and the cafe were buffet style and with plenty of choice.

There wasn't anything. There is no lift but this did not matter for me as I like to get exercise. However I thought I would mention it

Location is marvellous. 5 mins walk to Hagia Sophia, 15 min to Sikerci. 7 min from Gulhane Tram station.

No lift and breakfast start late at 8am.

“Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The hotel was exceptionally clean and offered spacious rooms, especially when compared to other accommodations in the area. Its location was ideal, with easy access to nearby tourist attractions and an abundance of Turkish restaurants within walking distance. The owner of the hotel was incredibly humble and welcoming, always greeting us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. One of the standout features was the 24-hour access to the kitchen, stocked with tea, coffee, and a delightful variety of green teas. We had a superb time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality!”

Staff members are very friendly and helpful, specifically I am thankful for Atakan, Hüseyn and Leyla xanım (in the kitchen). Also I liked the thing that the kitchen is accessable 24 hours - like a home you can take your free tea, coffee, water whenever you want and 24 hours receptionist. Variety of the food in the breakfast. Finally, it locates in just a walking distance to some of the necessary attractions (like Sultanamet mosque, Grand bazar.. go down 20-30 minutes Eminonu etc. Summarize, these are the points I liked.

I can't say something so badly we didn't liked, but I think there's a need of renewing somethings in the room. Another point, the stairs are narrow because of locating in an old building. It makes difficulties with heavy luggages and not easy accessability for disabled people. There's no lift. That's all.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everything exceeded my expectations; it felt like being welcomed by family. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options. We had a stunning view of the Hagia Sophia from our room. The staff provided us with walking directions and even gave us the phone number of one of the employees in case we needed any help. Overall, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and I would definitely return—no doubt about it!

- I loved everything!

Everything was great! Location is easy to get to from the Gülhane tram stop and just a couple minutes walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and other tourist sites. The property is an older building with a lot of charm and very clean and well cared for. The bed was quite comfortable and the air conditioning was cold and quiet. Breakfast was simple but all very tasty. All the staff were nice and accomodating. I only remember Ebru's name, but the others were great too! I checked in at 11pm with no problem. I definitely recommend the hotel and would stay there again the next time I visit Istanbul.
