A very nice traditional boutique type hotel with an excellent restaurant and attentive service. Close to the tourist attraction but also close to traditional part of Istanbul. Nice rooms, the ones close to the entrance and facing the restaurant garden are nice but noisy at night.
Every thing was great .
Staff was so helpfull.
Even let me store some luggage for a few days while i did a side trip .
My room was on the top floor. Had a great water views.. no lift. But they did tell me this before i hot there..which was fine for me .

Still excellent service and pleasant stay.. room is ok but needs better attention and. A facelift
Food is good , miss a better selection of fish.
Breakfast is basic .
This is one of the best hotels i have stayed in. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. Staff amazing. Knowledge and support where to go etc, was fantastic. Help with taxis, tours etc. The hotel feels like a lovely relaxing oasis, in a big city. Restuarant amazing. The staff were very helpful nothing was a problem. All major tourist attractions in walking distance. Just an amazing experience start to finish. Definitely will go back again
The service in this hotel is excellent… friendly and helpful. The garden setting is also lovely and the cuisine in the restaurant is first class… especially the chicken güveç!
The only downside of my stay was a very noisy room on street level with vehicles, mopeds, scooters passing 4 feet from my window. Quite a racket so I slept badly for several nights.
Otherwise a lovely experience.

Excellent characterful hotel- built around a garden courtyard in which you can find the restaurant which is most excellent! Possibly the best in the area, good food supported by very attentive and pleasant staff.
Speaking of which the staff were all absolutely wonderful special shout outs to Mrs Merve who sorted the transfer from airport and Mr Elvin who sorted out local events.
Special thanks also to the hotel cat for providing cat related home comforts.
Situated 5 minutes from the hippodrome and blue Mosque, say 10 mins from Hagia Sophia and 15 from Topkapi. 15 minutes the other way to the Grand Bazaar . I can whole heartedly recommend !
Large and comfortable bedroom, bathroom clean and large.
Staff were excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. Great area to wander, but close to public transport.
Great breakfast buffet and relaxing garden area.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. They went to great lengths lining up a fabulous tour and for us to experience a Turkish bath. They also very kindly arranged dinner reservations.
Excellent location in Sultanahmet district. Excellent service, the staff is very nice and efficient. And the restaurant is on the top 10 best places to eat in the district. The food was indeed delicious! The exterior terrace is a little piece of heaven from the noisy streets. I would stay there again!

Our stay was perfect, we are from the western of Europe, so you have to see everything in perspective.
Personally I, and my colleague as well, would not have a problem to go for a second time to the hotel.
Excelllent hospitality with above and beyond staff :
Mr. Murad and Ms. Liza at Resturant.
Mr. Elvin makes every effort to ensure guest satisfaction and very knowledgeable.
My friend and I stayed here for our first visit in Istanbul. We loved everything about the hotel. It is walking distance to all the big attractions. The service is above and beyond. It is very cute. And the food in the restaurant is good. Would definitely stay again.
Room had a musty gross smell and the bedsheets were not clean. They put me in a basement room which was even worse. Also the toilet barely flushed. I requested a new room and they said there were none available. Ive stayed in better hotels for half the price. Definitely would not stay here again.
everything was good except that it was not easy to find plus it was in the interior and the traffic was horrible. However, it is in walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sophia, so if you are athletic, and likes the walks, you will be fine.. I say the staff are tops
Hotel room was filthy, all furniture in room was very very old and in bad shape, in bathroom water was leaking from all over, sink faucet was leaking all the time, shower stall very very tiny you can not even move, tv in the room was not working

This hotel is not what it used to be (i.e. wonderful). The breakfast is no longer excellent but sub par. The afternoon and evening restaurant has been leased to an independent company and while the food is good, it’s very pricey and the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were not offered water when we sat down and had to request it midway through the meal. There was no guidance offered on the menu. Our room was extremely noisy (on the front) and we got little sleep on the first night.
