The room was very full of dust and the sockets in the room where broken too. The personnel the early shift was nice the night shift the personnel was rude.

This is a lovely BnB with very kind and welcoming staff. The breakfast is amazing and the decor is charming. The room was fine for our stay, very warm with a cute balcony. It may not be luxury, but it is homely and practical, and the location is perfect for exploring the main attractions of historical Istanbul.

Very convenient location walkable to many of the main attractions, friendly staff and a good breakfast to start the day. Was great to receive free bottled water most days. The room was exceptionally warm but after running the air conditioning for a couple of hours it got a lot cooler. Facilities were generally good although some shower fittings were a little loose.

Great place, great price, and great people

Comfortable room, if a little small--but I didn't expect anything big from an economy room. Diverse breakfast options. The location is great; you're a 10 minute walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace, and a 15 minute walk from the Grand Bazaar and the Archaeological Museum. The service was phenomenal. Every single staff member was so kind and helpful, from greeting me every time they saw me to helping me communicate with Turkish-speaking tour guides and offering suggestions about sightseeing. Truly awesome people.

Stayed in a deluxe room with a sea view on top floor. Spacious and AC works well. Bathroom on smaller side by sufficient. The included breakfast is a true Turkish breakfast feast of buffet offerings. Staff is very friendly and service oriented. Lots of dining options in area. Rooftop terrace has great views of the Straits/Asian side of city and Blue Mosque which is especially scenic at night when it is lit up. This is a great value stay in Sultanahmet area and walkable to the mosques and palace. Encourage you to use nearby trams which connect to Metro and suburban railways - all of which are safe and clean.

Perfectly positioned , beautiful buffet ****

This hotel is perfectly situated in the old city. In a cobbled street nesr a number if resturants and only 5/10 minutes walk from the sultanahmet square and a lovely little bazaar. The room was brightly decorated and equipped with a small fridge and air con . The bed was large and comfortable. Towels were changed regularly and tolietries provided. A couple of days water was left for us too. The buffet breakfast was excellent , with a large range of foods available , as well as hot drinks. Staff were very helpful , arranging our airport transfer out too . The roof top terrace had chair's and tables up there and the views were stunning . The blue mosque from the back abd the Bosphorus from the front . Why not 5 ou of 5 then ? The room was very small very little room for all our clothes ( maybe i took too much ) The stairs to the roof topbterrace need lighting at night ...it felt tricky to get up and down. Definitely recommend the hotel though

In overall the pictures are much better than the reality. Pros: clean room, delicious breakfast, good neighborhood and very close to everything. Cons: Our room was on the 2nd floor but no elevator. Do not expect someone help you to bring your laugage. Free bottles of water is included but the receptionist guy told us that is only complimentary for first night! The rest you should pay 10 liras for a small bottle. Mini bar was included but the refrigerator was empty. We had hassle for get a safebox( which was included). We called for glasses ( no utensils at all) and water but the receptionist told us come down the stairs and get ( room service was included).

The staff was courteous but the overall experience was below average, as my room lamp was dysfunctional and when I informed reception, no action was taken to fix it. I needed it for bed time reading. My washroom, shower area drainage was awful, I informed reception but no action was taken to fix it. My room was at ground floor near reception and there was lots of noise 24/7 of people dragging suit cases in odd hours and climbing stairs, it was just too loud and I didnt like that part.
