Great location & value for money.

Excellent location. Very helpful and kind staff, I left behind my e-Reader and the young man at reception went out of his way to find it for me, I am very grateful!!. The room was modern and comfortable. There was some noise from the street audible in our room, but this didn’t negatively impact our stay.

We took the only 4 ppl room on level 3. The staff Zubair was kind enough to help to bring luggage upstairs. The room was slightly claustrophobic given the slanting part in the room was about 1.4m in height only, but the hotel was in a premium sultanahmet location. We didn’t mind as much as we spent most of the time outdoor.
