We stayed at this hotel as a family of 3 late September this year. It is a family owned and run hotel. It was a very clean and comfortable place. Staff and owners were very helpful and friendly. They were very accommodating with all our needs and questions. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our stay there and would certainly go back again.

This is a lovely BnB with very kind and welcoming staff. The breakfast is amazing and the decor is charming. The room was fine for our stay, very warm with a cute balcony. It may not be luxury, but it is homely and practical, and the location is perfect for exploring the main attractions of historical Istanbul.

Well located near Blue Mosque and many shops and restaurants around. Room was small but ok for the price, there were a number of mosquitos which was the only real negative for us.

This is an excellent option for being in the heart of Istanbul old town. The location is perfectly situated for seeing a lot of the major sites. Close to major transportation hubs giving great access to this amazing city! I highly recommend this hotel. Great host and roof top view of the waterway.

If visiting mosques, clean and well appointed rooms. Shower had plenty hot water. Some street noise at night. The tv near the bed had a standby led that flooded the room with blue light at night. Not great. Staff pleasant.

Amazing breakfast. Best we had in Turkey! Hotel staff were very pleasant- held our bags for two days while we went to Cappadocia and helped us arrange things for airport transfers etc. The view from our room was beautiful- we had the ocean and Mosque view. I would stay here again!

Great price for the location. Decor was a bit weird, bathroom was small but had everything. Bedroom basic but again had everything you needed for a city break. Decent Turkish breakfast. The location is the main selling point for this place, staff friendly.

The room was very full of dust and the sockets in the room where broken too. The personnel the early shift was nice the night shift the personnel was rude. The breakfast options are excellent and all in all I would not book it again but for that price it was okay like it wasn’t horrible it had its benefits and disadvantages

Very convenient location walkable to many of the main attractions, friendly staff and a good breakfast to start the day. Was great to receive free bottled water most days. The room was exceptionally warm but after running the air conditioning for a couple of hours it got a lot cooler. Facilities were generally good although some shower fittings were a little loose.

Great place, great price, and great people

Comfortable room, if a little small--but I didn't expect anything big from an economy room. Diverse breakfast options. The location is great; you're a 10 minute walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace, and a 15 minute walk from the Grand Bazaar and the Archaeological Museum. The service was phenomenal. Every single staff member was so kind and helpful, from greeting me every time they saw me to helping me communicate with Turkish-speaking tour guides and offering suggestions about sightseeing. Truly awesome people.

Stayed in a deluxe room with a sea view on top floor. Spacious and AC works well. Bathroom on smaller side by sufficient. The included breakfast is a true Turkish breakfast feast of buffet offerings. Staff is very friendly and service oriented. Lots of dining options in area. Rooftop terrace has great views of the Straits/Asian side of city and Blue Mosque which is especially scenic at night when it is lit up. This is a great value stay in Sultanahmet area and walkable to the mosques and palace. Encourage you to use nearby trams which connect to Metro and suburban railways - all of which are safe and clean.

Perfectly positioned , beautiful buffet ****

This hotel is perfectly situated in the old city. In a cobbled street nesr a number if resturants and only 5/10 minutes walk from the sultanahmet square and a lovely little bazaar. The room was brightly decorated and equipped with a small fridge and air con . The bed was large and comfortable. Towels were changed regularly and tolietries provided. A couple of days water was left for us too. The buffet breakfast was excellent , with a large range of foods available , as well as hot drinks. Staff were very helpful , arranging our airport transfer out too . The roof top terrace had chair's and tables up there and the views were stunning . The blue mosque from the back abd the Bosphorus from the front . Why not 5 ou of 5 then ? The room was very small very little room for all our clothes ( maybe i took too much ) The stairs to the roof topbterrace need lighting at night ...it felt tricky to get up and down. Definitely recommend the hotel though

In overall the pictures are much better than the reality. Pros: clean room, delicious breakfast, good neighborhood and very close to everything. Cons: Our room was on the 2nd floor but no elevator. Do not expect someone help you to bring your laugage. Free bottles of water is included but the receptionist guy told us that is only complimentary for first night! The rest you should pay 10 liras for a small bottle. Mini bar was included but the refrigerator was empty. We had hassle for get a safebox( which was included). We called for glasses ( no utensils at all) and water but the receptionist told us come down the stairs and get ( room service was included).
