Breakfast definitely needs to be improved, same stuff everyday, only thing they offer to make fresh are eggs. Also jams need to be changed after every guest, because we had used and half empty ones(photo attached). Our AC didnt work when we arrived, but front desk staff was very professional and quick to give us a new room, props for that. Overall great hotel, great location and service.

Great location in very clean and friendly hotel

Very smart, clean and historic property. Only minutes from Sultanhamet square and tram stop. Lovely bathroom. Bed a bit low and soft for us but thats personal choice. Had suite room. For information there were no welcome drinks or fondue but we got a free sweet every day. There was no Netflix ( unless you had your own password??) No free soft drinks or sweets from minibar, price list displayed! Did not bother us as did not need these freebies but it may annoy some people. View from window poor but no big deal. Very noisy at prayer times but we were next to multiple mosques. Breakfast was massive, much of it uneaten on all tables, so a bit of a waste Lovely towels and bedding. Loads of hot water and toiletries Good air conditionong Well worth the money

The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast they serve is amazing (and huge!) with eggs, fruit,pastries and a number of Turkish dishes. Our room was huge and incredibly charming! Bed was very comfortable. They had tea and coffee in the room and a small fridge with drinks and snacks. You could walk from the hotel to ALL of the sites, it’s so well located for sites, restaurants and shopping. I strongly recommend this charming boutique hotel. You will love it! They even took a poloroid of us in the dining room on our last morning for use to keep. So sweet!
