The facilities are sorely lacking. Not a single cafe or restaurant in the property. In this day and age a manual key to our room was provided Even so we asked for another key but was denied. The staff took ages to set up the tv and only managed to get YouTube channel. Daily cleaning of the room is not automatic.

The hotel is very well located, with several restaurants nearby and a great walking route to the mosques. However, overall, the hotel was not so good. We noticed that the elevator sensors do not work, which is a serious safety issue. Some of the staff do not speak English well, making it difficult to communicate when asking for recommendations or directions. Additionally, our safe box did not work at check-out, and the staff did not know how to reset or open it, causing us to almost miss our flight — an unacceptable situation. If we return to Istanbul, we will definitely not stay here again.

Would not recommend. Very un professional. Gave me someone elses room and then was harassing me while i was out saying they need the room and need to get in to move my things to another room. And then when i had the notice outside my door for it to be cleaned. All they did was take the old towels but didnt replace them or anything in the bathroom and didnt make the bed or actualy clean anything. Duvet n pillows were thrown into a corner of the room

Great stay in a really convenient location! Staff were very friendly in the hotel and at the restaurant, my room was clean and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat! 2 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia and other attractions in Sultanahmet.

Great location in Sultanahmet. Right next door to the Four Seasobs Hotel at a fraction of the price. Beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the smaller side. Clean, and a good place to rest after a full day of walking at the nearby attractions

This charming little boutique hotel, locatef the the heart of the old city. Its an easy walk to many if the important sights in this part id Istanbul. The staff was warm and friendly, especially the kind Maitress'd on the roof top menu. I only had drinks and breakfast up there, but there are lovely views of the Bosphorus. I really enjoy my stay there. Note that I was as a solo female but felt very safe there and all throughout the city. The room may be a bit too small for 2 people.

I stayed at thi property two years ago and had an extraordinary experience. I rebooked this hotel for my two weeks ago stay with my family and it was an absolutely horrific experience. Before arriving in Istanbul multiple times I tried contacting the hotel about getting our rooms together, and they never even responded after multiple attempts. When we checked in the night of our hotel, the hotel was just rundown over the last two years. The hotel rooms were dirty. There was no toilet paper in our bedroom. There were no towels and when we asked, we were given one robe to dry the restaurant was under construction and the whole downstairs not available for use and none of this was disclosed in booking the hotel. We needed a shampoo and conditioner in our rooms and they delivered it half empty used from another room. The cleanliness was terrible. They was standing water in our shower that just puddle and murky. It’s as if the hotel was a ghost town and not regulated whatsoever. It appeared to be there were almost no other guests there as well with a very eerie feeling. I brought my 75 year-old mother here two years ago and had a great experience. So much that I rebooked and wanted to bring my family back.According to the staff, it’s under the same management, but I would not recommend on any condition staying at this property. It was extremely hot, stuffy it smelled moldy and had a very eerie feeling with nothing functioning or working. Pictures can be attached as well. HORRIBle
