    No elevator but it's OK. Idris is very helpful. He carry all our luggages to the room.

    Location is very near the tram like 2 min. by walk and near the tourist spots like Hagia Sophia, Sultahnamet Square, Topkaphi Palace like 3 minutes by walk only. The bed is very good and comforting. I forgot my toiletries and Atajan lend a toothpaste for us. Will certainly come back here next time. Idris and all the staffs are all wonderful.

    Pub next door wont stop music/dancing/lights till mid-night—on Friday and we struggles to sleep a few hours to catch early morning flight. Double bed mattress uncomfortable, could practically feel springs in it.

    In old town with most tourist attractions like blue mosque etc within 10 minutes’ walk. Two metro stations including Sultanahmet approx. 5-7 minutes’ walk. Owner/manager very helpful in arranging airport transfer/tours etc.

    Nothing..

    “Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The hotel was exceptionally clean and offered spacious rooms, especially when compared to other accommodations in the area. Its location was ideal, with easy access to nearby tourist attractions and an abundance of Turkish restaurants within walking distance. The owner of the hotel was incredibly humble and welcoming, always greeting us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. One of the standout features was the 24-hour access to the kitchen, stocked with tea, coffee, and a delightful variety of green teas. We had a superb time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality!”

    - I loved everything!

    The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everything exceeded my expectations; it felt like being welcomed by family. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options. We had a stunning view of the Hagia Sophia from our room. The staff provided us with walking directions and even gave us the phone number of one of the employees in case we needed any help. Overall, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and I would definitely return—no doubt about it!

    The bed was very comfortable, but did take up most of the room. I only had carryon luggage and could imagine with suitcases it could be tight on space.

    I had a very short layover in Istanbul and had never been to the city. I was hoping for a good hotel near the historic center. The hotel not only met but exceeded this desire. I was able to use my limited time to walk around Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and more.
