great location and friendly staff
great location which is great for tourism but accomodation is quite dated.
Staff is really helpful and friendly.
Breakfast lacked some more options to be served (maybe a continental breakfast option) but the terrace view is stunning, great for pictures.

Sinan our server at breakfast was kind cheerful and very thoughtful. All the staff were extremely helpful. Travel to and from airport was seemless and reasonable. Location great close to all tourist sites and local transport. Home away from home.

Super location
Great location, close to majority of main attractions as well as to the tram line and restaurants and shops. A little loud in the evenings but restaurant downstairs offers good food and 20% discount for hotel guests. Highly recommended.

The AC was turned off, and the room was very hot. The staff provided a standing fan, which was not convenient due to its loud noise.
The rooftop breakfast platter had plenty of options and had an amazing view of Istanbul city.
Overall happy with the Hotel and its staff.

The location of this property is excellent if you're interested in seeing the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, the Egyptian Bazaar, etc. All of these sites were just a short walk away. The hotel staff was all friendly and helpful. The restaurant connected to the hotel had delicious food and friendly staff.

A great escape from the busy streets of Istanbul. Room was spacious enough, with basic necessities. Air-conditioner worked fantastic, which helped during the hot afternoons we chose to stay indoors. They have water dispenser and ice maker which were very very helpful. Reception was very helpful with all our requests. Breakfast was satisfactory, on the terrace with a great view of Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque. Location was excellent.
