Great location for visiting the famous historic Ottoman landmarks in Istanbul (many are walking distance from hotel). Friendly and helpful staff especially at the front desk. Hotel itself is no frills, clean and basic. Great shower and a decent breakfast provided each morning. We would be happy to stay again. A small word of caution, there is no lift so if you have mobility issues best to request a ground floor room.

This is a very pleasant, small boutique hotel in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul, close and convenient to many of the key attractions of Istanbul. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. There is some construction and renovation work going on in and around the hotel, but the disruption is minimal. Good option for a holiday.

Great location, nice facilities, friendly, professional, and attentive staff. Great renovation with a good attention to detail and truly Turkish character. With the care provided by this wonderful staff I felt like at home. The breakfast was a little too basic and lacked variety.
