Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! The breakfast on the terrace was great, as well. It is very basic - but clean and the shower pressure was excellent! The rooftop terrace has incredible views and we loved hanging out up there! The location is amazing though - walk everywhere! Highly recommend - excellent for the price.

The hotel location is awesome, just walk out and you’re basically in the center of some of the attractions. The staff are really friendly, helpful and kind, breakfast is the same every day which I didn’t mind and it’s average. I had the budget single room, very basic. Bathroom was small but sparking clean and same as the room.

Excellent Staff, always there to help. Would like to see more soundproofing, specifically in the bathrooms as we could hear from next Room’s Bathroom. Great location. Would recommend definitely and will stay there again.

Very convenient location, the hotel is in between the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya Mosque (so you hear the call to prayer lound and clear 5 times a day). The hotel is very nicely decorated with beautiful Turkish rugs and tilework. The rooftop is amazing and the free breakfast each morning was great. Very kind and helpful staff.

I loved that the property is in the middle between sultan Ahmed and Ayasofya. Walking to both is so easy and the square between them is great at night and early in the morning.
