    I like the place. Actually, there are two hotels by that name in Sultanahmet. The first one is nearby and it faces the tram rails. But this hotel - №2 and it is situated in a very quiet street, nevertheless a couple of steps away from Agia Sophia. But keep in mind that there is no elevator in the building.

    The location of the Hotel is perfect, the rooms are very comfortable and the staff was very helpful. They allowed us late check out without charging us as they could see we had 2 infants with us. The Owner is a very good man and there were 3 receptionist including khalet and other 2 (Im sorry I dont remember the name of the other 2) who were very helpful and easy to communicate with. I will surely visit them again

    We had a few minor inconveniences caused by other guests who made a lot of noise at very late hours. However, this is in no way the hotel's fault, as the behavior of guests is not something that can be controlled. Otherwise, climbing the steep stairs might be a challenge, but we managed to survive just fine.

    The property was just as we expected, a budget accommodation, just a few minutes from Topkapi Palace and other landmarks in the center. The administrator was very helpful, assisting us with finding a parking spot, guiding us to the accommodation, and recommending a great place to have a delicious meal. He is a very kind and accommodating person, and we really appreciated his help. For us, it mattered more to be close to the center because we love the area and all the hustle and bustle of the merchants and tourists, and we wanted to be able to go for a walk at any time. The small imperfections of the hotel where we stayed didn't affect us much at all because the area was worth everything

    Can't think of any.

    I liked the location of the hotel most. You are literally 2 minutes from the Aya Sofia and you can even see the Aya Sofia from your window. You can go to Arasta Bazaar and Grand Bazaar walking. You have a food street with all types of the food at the two minutes walk. The staff are very friendly. The room size is good. Good WiFi and TV.
