Nice stay

Hotel is conveniently located in the old town and within walking distance to public transport to go further afield. The reception staff were very informative and assisted with your bookings. The hotel has a lovely rooftop bar and restaurant which was a plus. The elevator needs some upgrades and is slow. It often would go in the opposite direction.

Amazing, convenient location

The hotel was amazing. It's a modern hotel and has everything you need and the location is extremely convenient as it's literally 5 min walk to Blue Mosque/Hagia Sofia, and about 7 mins or so towards the Grand Bazaar. The hotel comes off the main road where the tram is used so you can just hop on a tram if you want to visit other places such as Taksim square/istiklal in Beyoglu. Would highly recommend this place.

Located in the center of old city on top of a hill. Everything is closed by within walking distance: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc,. It's the more quiet and nice area within the vibrant old town. My room is just off the corner facing a lovely pedestrian avoiding the noise of tram on the main street. My room is small, not enough for two regular check in luggage. Beds, air conditioning, lights are good. However, the shower partition cannot stop water going out and flood the bathroom floor every time after shower. Front desk staff, bellman, house keeping staff are excellent and helpful. I ate at the roof top restaurant which it has a 360 panoramic of the entire Istanbul. The food is good and the manager Metin was nice.

Lovely hotel with walls made of cardboard

Very nice hotel with great views from the restaurant on the top floor. Helpful, friendly staff. Only let down by the lack of sound proofing between rooms (I could hear every word of a loud female resident in the neighboring room). Also, can the management fix the doors - you have to slam them to engage the locking system - which makes everyone jump throughout the day and night!

Over all stay was good! Not great and not bad! Staff was very helpful, great restaurant and amenities but the mattress was very hard. Can’t sleep at night not because of the noise but due to discomfort in laying on a hard mattress! The place needs updating on the room! Breakfast was jus just ok! The location was perfect if you just want to see the Sultanahmet area.

Nicely decorated with sexy shower cubicle

Hotel was convenient to access by tram. Location facing the tram way and close to Camberlitas tram station. Walkable to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. Check in was good. Kudos to Kader who attended to us. She was very friendly and nice. Room was small but bed & pillows were comfortable. Good spread for breakfast. Only problem I had is the shower and toilet cubicle which has a glass wall and not locks at the door. So the door was slightly ajar. You can see the silhouette of the person showering from the glass wall although it is frosted

A beautifully maintained hotel with really warm staff who are very attentive and friendly . The location is great with easy access to all tourist destinations . It has an excellent on site restaurant and also hundreds of other restaurants and cafes within within distance . The tram is also a few minutes walk from the hotel, very easy to get to shopping areas . The breakfast has a good choice to start the day with hot ans cold items . The room we had was superior which was an upgrade with a lovely balcony with fantastic views of Istanbul . It was spotless with a luxurious bathroom with separate marble rain shower and a jet spa tub . Lots of toiletries in the room , loofahs, dental kits etc The maintenance team in particular Nibehat were always checking if we needed anything like water , towels . The reception staff were also always pleasant always smiling and welcoming. I have been to Istanbul many times and I would definitely recommend this hotel .

Mediocre hotel in the centre of Istanbul

The only thing going for this hotel is the central location (which is on a pedestrian street meaning taxis can’t always drop off outside). In other countries this would be a 3 Star hotel… it is old fashioned; doesn’t offer basic services like 24 hour room service. The roof top restaurant is great, but it is separate from the hotel. I ordered a bottle of wine to take back to my room, but was told I’d have to get two wine glasses from reception. The rooms are small with shower and toilet facilities that are more like a portacabin. Likewise, the so called ‘Spa’ is a separate business and costs in addition to the room price. The therapist was not at work the weekday I was there, meaning the spa was closed. Overall, the hotel is very dated; the service male dominated. This is not a hotel to stay in if you are looking for something a bit special and to experience the magic of Istanbul.
