Solid choice, great staff

Quirky room and quirky hotel (in a good way, if that’s your thing!). Staff are incredibly friendly. The hotel location can’t be beat - it was close to everything we wanted to see. Breakfast was fine - met the need. The bed and pillows were better here than in other hotels we stayed at in Türkiye! I’d stay here again.

I would classify this place as a “boutique hotel”. I has a charming style all its own. It location is perfect for visiting some of the more well known landmarks like The Blue Mosque or the Basilica Cistern. There are plenty of restaurants ranging from simple to the more expensive within walking distance. The hotel itself offers a restaurant of its own. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. For instance, I had to leave at 2:30am to the airport. Staff facilitated my taxi so I didn’t have to worry about anything. If I come back to Istanbul, I will definitely stay here again. I’ve already recommended this place to a couple friends of mine who are considering visiting Istanbul. This place is great.

Highly recommend

Our room had a lovely charm to it. It was smaller than I expected, but it perfectly fit our needs! The central location made it easy to walk and use public transport. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, and it saved us a lot of money to add it on. The hotel has an associated restaurant, which I assume is why the food was so good. Rooms are serviced every day (no do not disturb option).
