Chose this place because of proximity to the marathon finish line (couldn’t be better). But we were very happy with the room, which was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff was top notch.
Good access to the tram station and bus stop from/to the Istanbul airport. Easy to go sightseeing and have nice meals around the hotel. Highly recommended.
Great boutique hotel, right next to the Blue Mosque. Room was small, but clean and with everything we needed. Staff was great, we will definitely be back.
Fabulous location, nice breakfast, very helpful staff. The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. I’d highly recommend this hotel as an excellent value.
Great Location, Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, and downtown area.
Room was clean, Breakfast was good, staff was nice and helpful.
Definitely recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I have stayed in this hotel perhaps 10 to 15 times since 1998. It was my favorite place in Istanbul. Its location is stunning, right on the corner of the Hippodrome, a short block from the Blue Mosque and so much more. The staff is friendly and helpful, though the level of English much less now than before. The rooms are small but comfortable.
The hotel was in a perfect location diagonally across the blue mosque. You were able to catch a taxi if needed as taxi's were constantly dropping off other tourists. The room was tidied daily however it didn't seem to be vacuumed. The room seemed small but fine for sleeping as out during the day. The location to the major tourist attractions was perfect, not far to walk to them. There are alot of eating places around the hotel and not too far to pharmacies or other shops. The staff were great, always asking if we needed anything and arranged transfer to the airport on request.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Within walking dustance of all tourist attractions like
Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bizarre, Egyptian Spice Bizarre, river boat, Hop on hop off bus, tourusm offices and many more.
Highly recommend 👌
