    We do not have any complaints about the hotel. The only small inconvenience we have encountered is that the breakfast buffet had only one coffee/tea pot which sometimes resulted into a waiting queue in the morning.

    The hotel is in great location to visit the touristic highlights like Hagia Sophia or the Cisterna Basilica by foot. The breakfast is served on the roof deck with view on the blue Mosque. The breakfast itself had a nice selection. Our room was clean and had a good size. The staff helps to book event tickets and gives recommendations to avoid scam shop/restaurants.

    Breakfast was 😢, but don't worry! The poor breakfast does not outweigh the location and the staff nothing is 100% perfect. Next time if i will be back. What was disappointing was that I was too busy and didn't take any pictures. It's strange when everything is good we don't take any photos, but when something is disappointing we immediately take a photo. 🤣😂

    Kamers schoon, front desk mr Faruk! Ask for him! He and his 2 men colleagues are the Best! Mr Faruk knows "almost" everything. I was dreading going to another hotel. Bed was too good to be true. Just like a "nice" woman, this hotel is a 6 on the outside but a 9.3 on the inside. (These guys know where the qibla is! That's a good thing!

    Everything was perfect! Service, rooms, breakfast, location just 10/10! I honestly don’t get some of the negative reviews. Just a tip: book the airport shuttle with them, they provide punctual, clean vans that are the same price of a taxi.

    Being in the Old town, things are a bit tighter and our room was looking onto the air con unit of the neighboring restaurant (noisy for people who sleep with open windows).

    Very centrally located, close to several tourist attractions - very friendly staff - clean - nice roof top terrace. Staff was generous with supplying us bottled water.

    Had a bit of an issue with the cleaning staff that left the windows of the room wide open after making the room.

    Perfect location close to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia Mosque and the tram that connects the city. Tasty and abundant breakfast with a view on the city. Absolutely loved the shower which felt very luxurious.

    Location of hotel was so central, very close to all the historical sites (5 mins walk) and also the Sultanahmet metro (2 min walk). The room was really quiet as the hotel is on one of the side lanes. The breakfast has adequate selection of hot and cold food and served up on the rooftop which is nice.

    As I said, I would not have been happy with the first room, so ask for a room with a front view.

    We didn't like the first room we were given (back of the hotel, no view, very small and very basic.) I asked for something better and we were moved across the hall to a very nice room in the front of the hotel with a beautiful view. The shower was great. Beds very comfortable too. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The location was excellent. The breakfast was nice too - up on the roof top with lovely distant views.

    Great location in quieter area

    I am highly sensitive to perfumes and similar smells, and this hotel had a machine in the hallway that produced a strong floral air freshener smell around the clock. I wouldn't normally mess with things but I ended up unplugging the machine as it was actually making me quite sick and gave me a migraine. If these types of smells don't bother you, it shouldn't be a problem, but be aware if you are sensitive to such things.

    Good location to easily walk to and access all main touristy sites, restaurants and shopping. Off the main areas so it was quieter but as for all locations near a mosque or two, you will most likely hear the call to prayer early in the morning. Good breakfast, large rooms.

    You had to pay extra for a latte or cappuccino and omlettes at breakfast. They did have normal tea, coffee, boiled, and scrambled eggs available free of charge.

    The location was perfect, with lots of main attractions on the doorstep. The staff were super helpful and even let us use their city card to get around using boats and trams.
