Safe and clean, including for a solo female traveler. Exceptional on cleanliness. Stunning rooftop view (less common to find) and delicious Turkish breakfast with a wide range of options (they are very prompt in packing it up at end of breakfast time so be sure to come on time). Easy access to pedestrian walkway along the water. Very close to historic sites, shops. Interior feels like a well kept old home or museum. Each room has unique design aspects like painted wood closet doors or separate sitting area. The staff take personal pride in excellent service and maintaining the hotel. The hotel suggested and booked a traditional hammam experience (that place was built in the 1400s), with transportation included in the price. Just outside the hotel are ancient city walls. I stopped as part of a long layover I gave myself, more to rest than do touristy things, but it is well suited to either. Would stay again.

This was certainly no 4 star hotel. The rooms were clean but the only aspect going for the hotel was certainly the location. As for the breakfast, it was certainly not the standard that I am used to when it comes to a buffet breakfast. Staff were friendly at reception and allowed for a late checkout and kept our luggage. There is a fish restaurant close to the hotel, avoid at all costs.

Staff were helpful, location was close to Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque, just know it’s a pretty steep up hill climb, so be prepared. Breakfast was good, rooms were comfortable, the hotel looks old, but I think it’s part of its charm.

Overall I would rate the hotel as a 3 star not a 4 star hotel. It was very convenient to Istanbul attractions. We walked to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia Mosque in a 15 minute uphill walk. It was entirely safe except for the Turkish rug salesmen around the mosques. The calls for prayer were loud, but this is all over the city. We also walked to the Basilica cistern, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and Galata Bridge and Tower on easy walks. I feel that the hotels location is its biggest asset. There are a large number of restaurants and nightlife immediately adjacent to the hotel. We had 2 free nights from Turkish Airlines and added 2 additional nights for a total of 4. The breakfast was good and we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant 2 nights. I would definitely stay there again. Istanbul is a lively vibrant city.
