It is a charming hotel and so close to major attractions and eats. Breakfast and the staff at the buffet is great. We weren't happy with 2 major things: the soundproofing of our room in 101 is so bad, you can hear everything from the neighbors upstairs, loud footsteps and even their conversations as well as noise from outside the hotel so we didn't get a good sleep at all. The staff in the front desk can't seem to be bothered. Frowns when asked just basic questions and lounges on the guest sofa for the few encounters we had of him. Won't recommend staying here.

Staff was helpful. Location is excellent, walkable to most of the attractions in the old town. Free Turkish breakfast is a plus. The property itself has some character and charm, but is a bit dated. We have no hot water for one night.

Absolutely perfect location for so many things!! 5 minutes from the waterfront in one direction, 10 minutes from Hague Sophia and the Blue Mosque in the other. Transit easily reachable in a 10-15 minute walk. Despite being so close to the very crowded square, the street around the hotel is very peaceful, with staggered streets that make it quiet and calm when you come back from being out. Staff were very friendly and helpful (thank you so much for carrying my bags up and down the stairs!). There is no lift, which after a long day walking up and down the hills of Istanbul would have been nice, but this is the only teeny negative I could say. Will definitely stay here again and have already suggested to friends!!
Clean, comfortable. Not modern, but quaint.

Air conditioning ✅ Amazing location ✅ we were able to walk to all the major sites and take the tram to others! Safe ✅ lots of restaurants nearby Amazing front desk 24 hour service ✅ they arranged our transport with fixed rates do we knew what we were paying for taxi. The airport pick up was tricky since we got delayed but they accommodated us and it’s a big Mercedes van. Overall, I would say good for what you pay for. I would stay here again.

Great Hotel in a great location !

I was really pleased and very happy with this hotel. The front desk folks were always kind and chatty with us and were more than happy to offer any services and/or answer questions. Breakfast was FABULOUS! Great variety of food and they slightly changed it up every day. There was even chocolate cake one morning, come on? Chocolate cake? YES PLEASE!! The room was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice. Great overall experience with a Bed and Breakfast small hotel feel to it. Big fan. Also, the main touristy activities such as Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque and Sultan Palace was less than 10 minutes walking so a great deal and a great way to save money.

Great location, good service, some inconveniences

The front desk worker was very kind and helpful and they helped us book tickets to fun events. Great location for walking anywhere. The beds are not super comfortable. My brother and I shared a room with two twin beds. He is about 6'3 and he found the bed slightly small and the mattresses were a little firm. Also, keep in mind that they don't have maids or janitors available 24 hours a day so you may have to clean up messes yourself. (My brother and I got sick so we had to clean up vomit ourselves) If you are travelling with kids this may be something to consider. Not wheelchair accessible at all. Expect to carry luggage up and down stairs or ask the front desk to help you.

Great location

Great location. Rooms were very nicely lit with big windows and comfy beds. But the AC was not up to par unfortunately. Took a couple hours to cool, other than that everything was great. Would probably stay here again if we get a different room with better AC. For the price and location, can't really complain. Also, Tan was a great host and very accommodating.
