Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast every morning which was great but the only complaint was the hot breakfast was cold even though they were in chafing dishes. It’s a very good location and a 4 minute walk to sultanahmet square and a short walk to Gülhane Tram stop.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Great location for tourism and awesome value for money.
Also, hotel booked airport transfers and gave excellent info snd support with this!
Great small hotel. Breakfast was enjoyable and filling. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location most convenient to sites and metros. Very affordable.

Great location and proximity to major attractions.
Friendly stuff.
Our room was clean but quite small.
Had minor issues with door lock and shower cabin -which needed some maintenance -but none of that was jeopardizing our vacation in any way.
Would go there again without hesitation.
It's very central to do everything around.
Only one thing negative is four days we stay there always around 6 am 6:30 It's someones peoples was waking everyone with speaker

The hotel is very close to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica. There are cute shops all around and close to the train. The staff was helpful and friendly. The property is dated and the bathroom could use a deep cleaning. The AC didn't work. You can hear water running through the pipes. And, we didn't have hot water the first morning that was fixed.
Breakfast was included and was delicious and plentiful.

Simple hotel in Sultanahmet
We just needed a place for one night and this fit the bill. It's a nice little hotel, but has seen better days. Definitely not the four-star it is listed as. Room was a bit shabby and the heads up that the shower is unusable (as in, there is literally no way to use the shower handle in the holder provided, so you have to just rinse yourself off by hand). But the breakfast was lovely and the staff was super friendly and helpful, so would be ok for someone looking for a very simple hotel in a convenient neighborhood.
The good: great location; very friendly and helpful staff speaking English and Russian (some); clean room.
The bad: the bathroom was in a bad condition: leaking water drain; a shower holder falling out of the wall; bad smell. It was a disappointment and significantly lowers our rate.
The service was very good. The workers very happy and friendly. But the administration was too poor. They charged the value of the stay before entering the hotel. That seemed abusive to me. I was supposed to have paid an additional amount as insurance for non-use, however, they made the charge one day before arriving at the hotel and not at the time of check out.
PROS;
- Very nice staff, Celine is charming and an excellent communicator, thank you, Celine.
- Bedding sheets are good quality and clean, the room at a glance looks cute and nice.
- The location is close to the historic sites, restaurants, and bazaars.
CONS;
- Due to heavy traffic, no Taxi Driver is willing to go to this hotel during the day hours from the waterfront/bridges. I offered 500 TL but no taxi driver accepted it, at night I paid 300 TL for a 100 TL fare to bring my stuff from a waterfront hotel.
- The entrance is not clean, it is a garbage collector center for the garbage trucks.
- The bathroom does not have hooks on the walls for hanging towels, nor a toilet paper holder. The shower area is not walled from the rest of the bathroom and water runs all over. Using the bathroom is not that easy. Also, the hot water runs extremely hot and somewhat cold.
- A few side wall boards and floorboards are missing and need attention and fixing.
