A cosy place amidst history!
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay here. When we arrived i was not quite sure how it would be as the entrance was very basic. However staff went above and beyond with service. Breakfast was amazing and so much choice! The rooms were cosy and always cleaned well. The only drawback was that taxis were not allowed in the area as it is a UNESCO heritage site. However after the first day we got used to the idea and it truly isca beautiful historical location.

This is a wonderful hotel located right in the centre of the Old City. The Hagia Sophia is right next to the hotel and many of the central attractions are within walking distance. There is also a tram stop located a short distance from the hotel. The rooms are clean, stylish and comfortable. Lovely bathrooms with hot water. I had a really great night sleep here. I would suggest having the Turkish breakfast in the morning - a lot of food and all of it tasty, it will set you up for the day. The hotel also offers tea and treats in the afternoon - recommended! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, assisting with luggage, explaining how to use public transport or helping you book a tour. I would stay here again, this hotel had a very warm and friendly feel to it.

The staff was great, always helpful with a smile, never make you feel like you are inconveniencing them, felt welcomed, although at some points we had an understandable language barrier, but the message and jokes were communicated easily Reception open 24 hours If you don’t have an itinerary like my wife and I, feel free to ask at the reception, we did almost all the recommendations from private tour, spa, boat cruises and restaurants during our four night stay They also have a lovely breakfast

This boutique hotel is an oasis in a bustling city. Situated beside the Haiga Sofia and the Blue Mosque and the park that is Topkapi Palace and on a main tram line of the city.

The staff at this hotel goes over the top to please their guests. Our friends were not staying at the hotel with us because they had reservations elsewhere, but they kept their luggage for them and provided transfer to the airport for them anyway. They made reservations for our group to eat at an amazing roof top restaurant. We had 360 degree views of this amazing city that is breathtaking at night. Great food also! The breakfast in the morning is amazing and given complimentary to the guests. This hotel is awesome!
