While our room was being prepared (we arrived at 10:30 am) Kadir lined up a fantastic tour guide to give us a private eight hour tour of the main sites... More

This is the 3rd time I have stayed at this little gem. It's tucked on a little side street 5 minutes from the tram and walking distance to everything. Rooms are modern, clean, simple and elegant. I will stay with them whenever I am in Istanbul. The staff is wonderful. Kadir and Isa and the staff are consistently helpful. A++++
