9/10 Wonderful! (104 reviews)
It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great. Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!

lovely building despite restoration going on inside

I always go here when I visit. It's one of my favourite buildings in Istanbul. The harmony and respect between Islam and Christianity is touching but the architecture is spectacular when you consider how old it actually is. Don't forget to touch the lucky spot on the weeping column (to the right as you exit the main mosque).
