The room was on the top floor, very tiny (more suitable for a single room) and with no real space for luggage and the bed maybe too hard but the view from the terrace was everything. The staff was very service-minded and the hotel is very centrally situated in a nice area. For a few nights this hotel is a... more

OK for where it was and for a 3/4 nights. Def no longer. Central to all the main historical bits of Istanbul in the Sulthanhamet area. more

The hotel is located in a charming old historical center, just a few steps from the Blue Mosque and Haya Sophya. There are handful of rather... more
