Staff was helpful. Location is excellent, walkable to most of the attractions in the old town. Free Turkish breakfast is a plus. The property itself has some character and charm, but is a bit dated. We have no hot water for one night.

It is a charming hotel and so close to major attractions and eats. Breakfast and the staff at the buffet is great. We weren't happy with 2 major things: the soundproofing of our room in 101 is so bad, you can hear everything from the neighbors upstairs, loud footsteps and even their conversations as well as noise from outside the hotel so we didn't get a good sleep at all. The staff in the front desk can't seem to be bothered. Frowns when asked just basic questions and lounges on the guest sofa for the few encounters we had of him. Won't recommend staying here.

Air conditioning ✅ Amazing location ✅ we were able to walk to all the major sites and take the tram to others! Safe ✅ lots of restaurants nearby Amazing front desk 24 hour service ✅ they arranged our transport with fixed rates do we knew what we were paying for taxi. The airport pick up was tricky since we got delayed but they accommodated us and it’s a big Mercedes van. Overall, I would say good for what you pay for. I would stay here again.

Absolutely perfect location for so many things!! 5 minutes from the waterfront in one direction, 10 minutes from Hague Sophia and the Blue Mosque in the other. Transit easily reachable in a 10-15 minute walk. Despite being so close to the very crowded square, the street around the hotel is very peaceful, with staggered streets that make it quiet and calm when you come back from being out. Staff were very friendly and helpful (thank you so much for carrying my bags up and down the stairs!). There is no lift, which after a long day walking up and down the hills of Istanbul would have been nice, but this is the only teeny negative I could say. Will definitely stay here again and have already suggested to friends!!
Clean, comfortable. Not modern, but quaint.
