Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was clean except the shower was little stain but in general room was clean. Love the hotel smell. The staff was kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious much options clean set up. Love the surroundings safe much restaurants and shopping store. Love it
Overall an ok experience.. no bad words about the staff, who try their best to welcome you and meet ones needs.
The hotel is bit dated or one can call it traditional in its decor etc.. it may appeal to different people.
Television is poor with only Turkish channels.
Spa is at another location but they pick/drop you off, but a nice experience at the spa.
Location wise, if you want to build your leg muscles then this is the hotel for you, as walking to the main square etc takes some up hill walking.
Overall a 6/10 maybe a 7 due to the staff.
The hotel has a small pool with sauna facilities and a roof terrace and a beautiful covered garden area off of reception. The staff are always smiling and any issues were sorted straight away. The breakfast is simple and fresh with everything you need and there are some extras at €3 I thought that was responsible. When I go back to Istanbul I will stay here it has two parks front and back, where there’s a large supermarket and beautiful garden cafe.

Elegant old vintage hotel with nice Hamam.
Old hotel on a quiet street close to the water with an elegant vintage feel and velvet couches. The Hamam and sauna was a highlight for us; small but nice.The staff was friendly and helpful. 15 minute walk to the Sultanahmet tram. Overall would recommend for the price we paid in off season March.
Excellent property and location in the historical centre. However, there are challenging transportation options to visit attractions other than those centrally located.
Everything was great ! Hotel in good position to visit Istanbul. Staff was great, they suggested us the excursions with the boat and let us park the motorbikes in front of the hotel in a safe place.

Disliked: Cleanliness
First , got assigned to the wrong room that we have booked, the toilet was also full of fungus.
Breakfast was not a lot of choice unless you order and pay on top .
The young staffs were friendly and tried to help.
Great staff from front desk, F&B to housekeeping...
The only issue I had was that torturing breakfast music, the same 5-6 songs keep repeating for 3 hours, day after day...Oh my God and we stayed there for 2 weeks.
We'll definitely go back, but for god sake play some nice turkish music, instead of Miley Cyrus and "California Dreaming "...

Good location, needs a facelift
The hotel gave us a warm welcome, and every interaction with staff was positive. The decor has been left with a bit of repair needing; the carpet on the stairs is frayed, the wallpaper in the room is peeling.
There is no bar and it looks like if you want room service it’s provided by an external company with a small range.
Absoloutely wonderful hotel. The hotel is in a prime spot to walk to major attractions and also beautiful parks, shops and restaurants. This was our second stay in 10 days, the latter being due to missed flight connection. We did not hesitate in returning to the hotel and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Special thanks to Fatih, Yunus and Yusuf who helped us immensely to get comfortable before returning home. Highly recommended and I'm sure we'll return again.
The Hotel staffs were great and helpful but nothing works at the hotel, rooms were extra small with no working air conditioning, the SPA and gym were close. The power was out every day and no water to shower or use the bathroom at times. Hotel need major repairs and it was a complete disaster.
