The location is amazing, in the middle of the main attractions, close to Sultanhmad tram station T1 line, walking distance to all of the main attractions we wanted to visit - The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topcapi Palace, Archaelogy museum, Basilica Cistern grand Bazar after 2 tram stations. We enjoyed walking around the area as well. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Thank you for the assistance.

Great location in the old city (Sirkeci), 10 minutes walking distance to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The rooms were sparkling clean with daily cleaning, good breakfast buffet and polite staff.
With some hotel staff communicating in English was a bit difficult but they were making an effort to understand and solve the query.
It would be great if the towels were better quality.

The staff went out of their way to be helpful. Location was awesome, so close to the Blue Mosque and the Sofia, and within easy stroll to so many restaurants. Breakfast was very good, served in a rooftop terrace overlooking the Bosphorus. The bed was comfortable and the linen clean. The room was serviced daily, and the tariff is very reasonable.
It’s a bit tired. Obviously the building is a bit aged and it shows. Our room was very small, but adequate for our needs.

Posizione ottima per valutare i monumenti piu importanti e apprezzata e' stata la traquillita del quartiere: si respirava un atmosfera rilassata e non sembrava di essere in una megalopoli; da rimarcare inoltre la grande gentilezza e dispobibilita di tutto lo staff della reception; pulizia e cambio asciugamani puntuale e ottimo rapporto qualita/prezzo.
La colazione, dolce, e' un po povera ma ci si poteva accontentare visto che la maggior parte dei clienti preferisce quella continentale che era abbastanza ricca. Il problema invece su cui dovrebbero migliorare e' l'assenza di climatizzazione nel locale dedicato alla colazione. Si tratta di una terrazza delimitata da vetri che a fine luglio risulta gia' calda dalle prime ore del mattino e questo toglie in po di relax al risveglio. Sicuramente il problema non e' sentito in inverno o primavera.
Altro aspetto da migliorare e' la qualita dell'infisso della nostra stanza che non garantiva la giusta insonorizzazione, anche se abbiamo comunque riposato discretamente. Direi comunque valutando insieme gli aspetti favorevoli (vedi sotto), che il soggiorno e' stato positivo e l'albergo si puo consigliare.

Hotel in pieno centro a 5 minuti a piedi dalal Basilica Santa Sofia, Moschea Blu e Topkapi.
Camera grande e pulita con balcone con vista mare parziale
Gentilezza e cortesia dello staff.
Aria condizionata rumorosa e difficilmente regolabile.
Bagno da ristrutturare così come rifarei i pavimenti

The location on Sultanahmet was good.
The photos of the hotel and the rooms ( we were in the old block)do not represent the real thing.
Non functional aircon in very hot and humid Istanbul.
Broken beam over my head. I slept in the opposite direction.A serious accident waiting to happen.
Exposed electric wires and a gaping hole where the hairdryer was meant to be.
We had to mix breakfast because of an early day trip and we asked for a takeaway pack. We were given mini tubs of butter and jam with spinach pastry when we had been promised sandwiches.
On the plus side the staff were helpful and tried their best. Thank you.

Kleineres hotel in hervorragender lage nur wenige gehminuten von der blauen moschee und der hagia sophia entfernt. Unser zimmer im obersten stockwerk hatte einen kleinen balkon mit meerblick und blick auf die blaue moschee. Ein traum! Das frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig, abwechslungsreich und liebevoll zubereitet und hergerichtet.
Im eingangsbereich wird man mit kaffee, tee und kuchen verwöhnt. Das beste an diesem hotel sind jedoch die angestellten, die jederzeit mit rat und hilfe zur verfügung stehen.
Unser ganz besonderer dank geht hier an ayşe, die wirklich jederzeit uns geholfen hat und uns super tips gegeben hat. Da merkt man einfach, dass sie ihren job mit herzblut ausübt. Danke dafür! ❤
In unserer dusche war der wasserdruck nicht immer ganz so stark, wie ich es mir gewünscht hätte. War aber nicht schlimm. Ist wirklich jammern auf hohem niveau

Kiváló kiinduló pont a várósnézéshez! A személyzet segítőkész. A környéken minden A turistáknak szól. Ezért ha autentikus érzetet keres az ember érdemes helyi közlekedéssel kijjebb menni,akár hajóval átmeneti az Ázsiai részre enni egy jót helyi áron.

Отличный бюджетный семейный отель в шаговой доступности от Айи Софии, голубой мечети. Прекрасные и разнообразные завтраки на террасе с видом на Босфор. Можно пить чай в течение дня. Доброжелательный персонал в лице Камолы и Шукюра, которые всегда помогут советом и угостят вкусной выпечкой и горячим чаем в лобби отеля. Кстати, там всегда можно выпить горячий чай со свежей выпечкой (кексы, печенье). В комнате убирались каждый день, меняли полотенца. Рядом с отелем множество кафе, ресторанов. Локация одна из лучших, все основные достопримечательности рядом.
Единственный минус, слишком маленькая комната для 3-х людей. Тесно.

El personal es muy atento amigable y siempre disponible para solucionar los problemas, aunque por lo viejo del hotel muchas cosas no tienen solución.
La ubicación es inmejorable porque está cerca a los monumentos y sitios más importantes y también al mar.
Somos adultos mayores 81 Y 74 años y escogimos con mucha ilusión este sitio para celebrar nuestro aniversario de matrimonio y mi cumpleaños durante una semana completa.
Elegimos la habitación más costosa que ellos promocionaban como Suite especial con fotos muy atractivas. Fue muy decepcionante cuando descubrimos que el hotel es muy viejo y no han remodelado temas tan importantes como el tapete que está en todas las áreas comunes y además en nuestra habitación, y el cual no solamente se ve muy viejo sino que es obvia la falta de limpieza (ni siquiera tienen aspiradora)..
Creemos que nuestra habitación seguramente estaba sin alquilar hace un tiempo y no la habían revisado, porque no funcionaban ni el teléfono para comunicarse con la recepción, la ducha estaba atrancada y tampoco funcionaba el calentador de ambiente Esa noche tuvimos mucho frío y tampoco nos pudimos duchar en la mañana . La cama muy vieja ya estaba doblada en la mitad hacia abajo como en V y el colchón era terrible, de muy mala calidad y demasiado bajito. La cobija que nos pusieron era para una cama muchísimo más pequeña y ni siquiera nos tapaba los pies. Imagínense la noche que pasamos: las 2 almohadas eran también muy viejas, pequeñitas y quedan perdidas en la cama. Seguimos sorprendiéndonos cuando descubrimos que al cerrar las cortinas, la tela no alcanzaba para tapar las ventanas y entraba toda la luz de afuera. Era increíble lo que estábamos viviendo después de pagar una suma importante y haber construido nuestros sueños alrededor de este sitio. Para rematar esa habitación es la del cuarto piso, el último piso del edificio y toda la noche tuvimos muchísimos ruidos de gatos y pájaros que seguramente tienen sus nidos y casas encima de la habitación.
Por supuesto que esa noche no dormimos en absoluto, pero sabiamos que a esa hora no nos solucionarían los problemas.
Viajamos mucho y es la primera vez que encontramos un desastre de lugar y de habitación como éste.

Posizione ottima e centrale, vicino a locali e negozi. Si arriva a piedi in 5 minuti alla moschea blu.
Cambio asciugamani tutti i giorni.
Colazione abbondante con il salato ma non nel dolce.
Personale super gentile
Stanza piccola, un po’ essenziale e non molto rifinita.
Abbiamo dovuto richiedere due volte la carta igienica perchè non era stata messa nel cambio giornaliero perché l’hotel l’aveva terminata.
La Colazione è prevista per le 8 ma alle 8.20 stavano ancora disponendo le cose( noi avevamo urgenza di fare colazione presto causa partenza)

The location is really handy for major sites and you can see the Blue Mosque from the windows. Breakfast on the terrace had a wide variety of options although speaking personally I’m not in love with filtered coffee. Rooms were a good size and very clean.
Be aware that the property is quite rundown although this is reflected in the price. One of our rooms had holes in the carpet and the wooden door frames were crumbling in places. Stairs are steep but there is a lift.

We have booked "Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View" and its was quite nice. The view was actually to the Blue Mosque, but that's ok. It's the only room at the 4th floor, so you can just cross the breakfast room on the covered terrace and sit on the terrace on the other side with a real sea view. The guy at the reception was quite nice, although there was a slight misunderstanding at first with the parking lots.
The cleaning should be really improved - it really spoils the huge part of the impression for this otherwise quite nice hotel. The hotel is located directly at the main tourist street in Sultanahmet but surprisingly it does not add a lot of noise. Most of the time the reception desk is empty - the guys are just chilling by the tables outside. The sound isolation could have been better - in the morning you hear everyone who arrives in the breakfast hall just in front of the room (and they could hear you too).

The staff were friendly and attentive the buffet breakfast was good.
Thought the bathroom was dated needs a makeover the water pressure on the shower was poor.

The location is great, it's about a 7 minute walk to the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were very helpful and gave us whatever we needed. They also helped us book tours and organised everything for us.
We didn't have a great view which is fine of course but there's also not a view of the mosque or the Hagia Sophia even from the terrace. The breakfast was average and the rooms are quite small, our AC wasn't working. It's somewhat a boutique hotel so the amenities aren't great but overall it's a very convenient place to stay but the pictures do make it look nicer than what it actually is

Good breakfast, nice receptionist.
The bathroom smells like hell and the ceiling is destroyed by humidity. The room is way too small for three people, no place for luggage.

Perfect location for short visit; amazing breakfast- ladies did great job everyday during our stay
Room in need for refurbishment - mold on the celling and drainage smell in the bathroom.
Pushy with recommendations where to eat, what to do and airport transfers

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
Located very close to Blue Mosque, Hagga Sophia & Grand Bazaar. From here gou can walk basically anywhere in old Istanbul. Close to tram station to tram around Istanbul and also close to docks for taking boat trips.
Breakfast was good but not great and the plus point is the breakfast area has a nice view.
If you want to be close to all the main tourists spots you are not going to get much better hotel than this for this price range.
We stayed in room 306. Our room was very small, door opened onto bed and not even enough space to place two bags on floor properly. Shower head was not fasten but this is minor issue.
If you want to be out and about as much as us the size of the room wont be a problem for you but if you like relaxing in your room a lot I would advise asking for bigger room or look at another hotel.

5.0
My relation with the hotel did not start well because I had a problem with changing the dates of staying. Despite the fact that I had the right to a one-time free change, the hotel presented me with an offer that I would have to pay twice as much as initially. In the end, thanks to booking.com, I managed to solve it without incurring additional costs. The hotel itself is very clean and nice, the staff is helpful and kind, they have good breakfast - on the terrace with a view on the see. I rate my stay in this place VERY GOOD, great location and a room worth its price.
