This hotel is a great find - an absolute gem! We loved our stay there, and it's in the perfect location to0. I'm disabled and have to use a mobility scooter or a walking frame. The hotel is not totally step free, but the staff bent over backwards to help. There was always someone on hand to lift the scooter up the steps, or connect the charger etc. They were also happy for us to have our breakfast in the main (ground floor) restaurant (by the window!), rather than climb the flight of stairs to the normal breakfast room. We were struck also by how helpful - and happy - all the staff were. We noticed a couple of ladies working in the kitchen preparing some food and they were chatting together happily, and even dancing on the spot a little, while still carrying out their work at a commendable speed! Altogether 10 out of 10 in all aspects!

The location was excellent in terms of closeness to the Hagia Sophia and other sites. However, our room and bathroom were very outdated. Also, it was right by the tramway tracks, so the train noise and calls to prayer from the Hagia Sophia made it tough to sleep through the night.

Best stay ever!

It was the best choice I made. It was 8 of us! The hotel is located in a great location, you can walk to various facilities nearby. The service was very nice, especially Sevgi who served us at breakfast, she is an incredibly beautiful soul. Breakfast with relaxing music and a beautiful view. And the almond soup we had for lunch is worth recommending. If I ever come back to Istanbul, I will definitely come back to this hotel.

A quiet sanctuary a short stroll away from the key sights of the old town.Perfectly located behind the Aghia Sofia mosque. Attentive front desk and waiting staff. Authentic Ottoman dining experience in hotel restaurant. Complimentary breakfast. Early morning call to prayer from the mosque quite audible but wasn't a problem for us. We booked a larger front facing room on fourth floor which had a bathroom and a jaccuzi in the bedroom. We liked having the extra space. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
