The hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of the sultanhmet area. .The staff here really could not do more to help you, we were greeted at 9 o'clock at night with a tea and cake, and if you are in the hotel around 3 o'clock there is cake and refreshments. It was my husband's birthday while we... More

The hotel is right in the middle of sultanhmet, across the road from blue mosque, therefore ideal if you're planning a trip for sightseeing. Although its a small property, the staff was very helpful, helping us plan our trips, with directions and helpful tips. There are many restaurants on the street right next to the hotel. Ideal for dinners when... More

Upon arrival, Ersin sat down with us over complimentary Turkish tea and explained tour and dining options for the area.

Great boutique hotel. Very close to tram stop which is very important in the Old City as the taxi drivers are very shady/cheats. We took the tram to almost everything. And it is clean and easy to use. And right outside hotel. Our room was modern/updated. Bathroom was a bit tight but very clean and bright. Room was a bit... More

The hotel is clean, comfortable and welcoming. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The view from the roof terrace where you have breakfast is fantastic. You are opposite a small mosque and can see the Blue Mosque ahead of you. Being up there with a drink on arrival with the call to prayer in the background is a little... More

The hotel is just minutes from the Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome & Basilica Cistern. I ended each night with a stroll to Sultanahmet Park just for the view. If you walk 10-15 minutes you'll find the Grand Bazaar & Topkapi Palace. The entrance is not on the main street (Divanyolu) which caused taxi drivers to have to call for... More

Excelent location, really near to tourist attraction. Breakfast is very good and tasteful. The breakfast staff SEZGIN is very helpful and a good friend to my son Tariq. Sezgin service and the hotel is world top class. We are looking forward to stay in this hotel if we are going to Istanbul next time.
