Rooms were clean and staff was kind and friendly. We took only breakfast and didn't regret that. The buffet was little bit small but in context of breakfast it was fine, moreover it was pretty tasty. The additional pluses were balcony on fifth floor with pleasant view on the street and bathroom, especially hydro massage.

We arrived early at our hotel and the staff were very accommodating. We were hoping to just store our luggage for a few hours while we were sightseeing, but they were actually able to find us a comparable room to the one we had booked and let us check in almost 5 hours early. Buffet breakfast was amazing! Lots of selection.

This is a great place to stay in Istanbul. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good variety and was tasty. The location is superb close to all of the major sites in Sultanhamet. The only weakness was that the Wi-Fi blocked my VPN but that is typical of many places in Turkey due to the authoritarian government. Overall I had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.
