Highly recommend! Beautiful, comfortable, and quiet hotel near historic city center! Front desk staff Regep was super helpful booking tickets and taxis. We loved being able to pass by Hagia Sofia & Blue Mosque on our daily walks to the metro, and enjoyed frequent visits to our fav shops in Spice Bazaar nearby. Breakfast was abundant, but a little repetitive, in a beautiful breakfast hall with paintings & archeology of old city. We had a gorgeous window overlooking the sunrise on the Bosphorus water channel.

Overall the hotel was very good. The room was spacious, staff were very helpful and attended to all our requests. The breakfast was open buffet, and it was nice, contained hot and cold breakfast. It was a bit hard to get around the area though as it there was limited public transportation. But overall it was good compared to the other hotels nearby.

Nice hotel and great location to tourist attraction. Staff are friendly.Price very reasonable compared to other hotel with breakfast included. Clean hotel. Negative was one of room bathroom lock wasn’t working and AC not cold enough. I booked 3 single bed for one room but it had 1 single bed and 1 big double bed. I don’t cause fussy since in our group they could share bed together.

The room was spacious, quiet, and nicely furnished; however, many things were in need of repair: bathtub drain, sink plug, hair dryer, broken electrical outlet are some examples. It seems as though this used to be a very nice hotel but is not being kept up anymore. Breakfast was good.

Friendly and welcoming staff. The breakfast at this hotel was very underwhelming, and it was probably the saddest thing about the hotel. The photo of the breakfast on the Expedia website is very misleading and was nothing like that at all. We were initially given a room that had a very smelly bathroom; something wrong with the sewage system I think as the smell was coming out of the drain in the bathroom sink. We reported this to reception who apparently knew about the problem already, but still gave us the room?? We had the room changed the next day. This time, the bathroom in the new room was cleaner and not smelly, however there were ants on the floor lol. In summary, I probably wouldn't stay at this hotel again and I am hesistant to recommend this to anyone for their stay in Istanbul.

The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. We had only a brief overnight stay, checking in late and leaving early, so I can’t speak much to the facilities. But when we checked in at 2am, they were so friendly and quick. When we checked out, we scheduled their driver services to get to the airport, and learned they only take cash that morning! The person working the front desk told us where the nearest atm was in clear directions, and was so kind about the whole thing. He also served us Turkish coffee when we came back and were waiting for the car. Just great staff! Would stay there again if I make my way back :) also, on the way to the atm, we saw many highlights we were hoping to see in the morning, so definitely recommend the location!!!
