    comfy family room
    worn out furniture
    noise from street

    the hotel is in a great spot for exploring istanbul, super close to all the main attractions. the staff were really helpful and friendly, even suggestin some cool local places to eat. breakfast was nice with lots of options, and the coffee was so good. our family room was comfy and had everything we needed, making our stay really enjoyable.

    the room could use some updates as the furniture seemed a bit worn out, and at times, we could hear noise from the street at night.

    Excellent personalized service from the staff.

    The bathroom was poorly maintained, with rusted fixtures. The noise from the busy street was unbearable at night. Not once did I receive adequate room cleaning during my five-night stay.

    Perfect Istanbul getaway 🕌✨

    Staying here was awesome! The staff were like chommies, always ready to help with tips on where to eat and visit. Plus, the brekkie was a lekker spread every morning! Super clean room with comfy beds too.

    Only downside was a bit of noise from the street at night, but it wasn't a deal-breaker, you know?

    worn furniture

    A charming stay in Sultanahmet

    We reveled in the stunning location, just a short stroll to the historical wonder of the Blue Mosque. Breakfast was a delightful spread that started our explorations on a high note. Each morning, we enjoyed the robust coffee while meeting fellow travelers in the cozy dining area. Omar's warm hospitality and local tips added personal touches that made us feel at home.

    The room showed signs of wear, such as outdated furniture and a less than ideal shower installation. Despite the comfortable nights, we could feel the vibrations from nearby bars late into the night. It might not be suitable for families with young children seeking absolute quiet.

    during my 4-night stay, i was amazed by the warmth of the staff and their local tips that really enhanced my visit. the spacious room provided a cozy retreat after exploring istanbul, and the air conditioning ensured a comfortable night's sleep. this place truly outshone my previous stay at a five-star hotel, making me feel right at home.

    the mini-fridge didn’t work.

    basic amenities

    The stay was primarily to explore the Sultanahmet District and its historical sites, and the location proved to be perfect. I appreciated the spacious Economy Triple Room which offered excellent air conditioning for a peaceful night's sleep. What stood out the most was the staff's remarkable ability to provide helpful recommendations for nearby attractions, making our sightseeing experience seamless.

    unwanted noise
    shower installation

    The proximity to major attractions allowed for easy exploration, enhanced by the warm hospitality of the staff who catered to our needs throughout the stay. Enjoying authentic dishes at breakfast made for a delightful start to our days. the outdated furniture in our room detracted from the overall comfort, and at times, the vibrant nightlife nearby created unwanted noise during the evenings. the shower installation could use improvement, affecting the overall bathing experience.
