2 days transit visit
This hotel is a gem, a very high value for money - rooms are small, but still functional, great location, nice and tidy, room even comes with breakfast - simple but wide selection of food, coffee & tea. Friendly owner and sfaff. Perfect for transit or a few days visit.

Høsna, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Apart from an unpleasant employee, not polite, and the room opposite the kitchen making it very noisy for sleep it was very complicated, the location of the hotel is very well located.
FATHEN, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Conveniently located hotel
Well located hotel made it easy to walk to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, and much more. Room was ground floor, subject to street noise. Ensuite bath was clean, but had plumbing isse that was not resolved during my stay (constant leak in toilet). Breakfast was filling and tasty - including items not normally considered breakfast foods (salad?) Room lights needed attention by electrician - flickering occasionally.

Viajamos mi esposo y yo, la atención por parte del personal fue de lo más destacado. La verdad que da gusto ir a hoteles así. El lugar está muy bien ubicado, se puede conocer bastante a pie. Tuvimos unos inconvenientes con los taxis, pero no tienen nada que ver con el hotel.
