All staff from receptionist, to ladies in the breakfast and cleaning area were really helpful and kind, the helped me with directions around the area, with my suitcase and more. Its a very small place to stay but has just what you need to sleep and eat for breakfast if you plan to stay out visiting the lovely town.
Amazing location, staff were nice and friendly. Good WhatsApp communication once booked. Ensured I received the room requested
Looking forward to next time
You can’t beat the location. Right on the tram in between the Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque, with a view of the Blue Mosque from the dining area. There was an issue with my first room but the staff immediately resolved the issue & gave me a new room.
Located in the center of the old city area, the hotel has a good access to sightseeing places and the tram. Their breakfast of local style is really good with various different salad every day. Though the building is old, facilities are good enough.
The Hotel and the staff was excellent and the location of the hotel was the best.

Clean room, staff were friendly, allowed early check. Location was brilliant, opposite blue mosque and Hagia Sophia and the tram line.
Breakfast was okay but could do with more variety.

Excellent location could not get better. Staff at the front were not overly helpful. Cleaning staff were polite.
The hotel was very central and could walk everywhere and catching the public transportation was easy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the view of the Blue Mosque from the Breakfast terrace was amazing.
Not an easy hotel to stay at if you want the taxi to drive you to the doorstep, but it's close to the blue mosk an many restaurants and the bazar, so it's a great place to stay if you want something cheap or just for a short stay.
This hotel had positives and negatives. WiFi was weak. Staff was very friendly. We didn’t like elevator noise. Breakfast was OK but nothing to write home about. BUT: it was clean. Beds were comfy. Staff were friendly. And you could not ask for a better location. We added an additional night so obviously could not have been bad. Taxi can’t get you all the way to the hotel. The location was worth all the negatives for us. If we return we will either stay here again or one of the others really close to here. Loved Istanbul very much.

From one point of view, location is excellent - it is in the very center, you can walk to all historic places. From another, it is not reachable by car, so a cab driver left us far from the place as the streets are closed for cars. The same when we were leaving for the airport, the transfer was organized by the hotel but still we had to walk to another street when the car could come. The rooms are tiny and the bathroom stinks, as the building is very old. They tried to renovate it but they could have done less rooms but make them larger and with real windows and not the thing they made. When the hotel staff organized the transfer to airport for us, they charged is $50 which is more or less a normal price there and we agreed, but they joined us and another family in the same, without even asking us, and when we complained they gave us back only $10. In general, be very careful with money there, as people try to cheat you.
