United Kingdom, August 2023

This hotel's location is amazing, it's literally a minute away from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. It's also very central, making it easy to reach the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly. The breakfast served on the rooftop terrace is fantastic, with a great choice of fresh fruits, pastries, salads, and more.

Breakfast was a bit strict, only starting at 8am.

10.0/10

United Kingdom, June 2023

I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient location of this hotel. Just a short metro ride from the airport, I easily arrived at the doorstep. Being in the heart of the old city, I was able to explore the grand bazaar and spice market effortlessly using the nearby metro/tram system. The staff were polite and the room was clean and spacious. The rooftop breakfast area was a lovely way to start the day, with a delicious breakfast spread and a cozy ambiance. I highly recommend this hotel for its location and amenities.

9.6/10

United Kingdom, May 2023

Had a good city break with a couple of unexpected complimentary perks. The hotel's location was ideal for exploring the main sights and tourist attractions, with public transport links just a stone's throw away. Enjoyed relaxing on the terrace after a busy day out.

The upkeep of some of the facilities left us a bit disappointed. The room was in poor condition, with insects regularly popping up uninvited.

7.8/10

United Kingdom, April 2023

This hotel is perfectly situated on a bustling street, right in front of the tram line. It is conveniently located near the main attractions and just a short walk from the tram station. The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to assist guests.

Although the hotel offers various amenities and services, there was one reviewer who mentioned that the bath corner in the bathroom was small, making it less comfortable for larger individuals.

9.2/10

United Kingdom, April 2023

Great location, near attractions. Helpful and polite staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Good wifi, strong shower. Excellent breakfast

Absolutely nothing.

9.4/10

United Kingdom, January 2023

This hotel's location is amazing, situated between two tram stops in the center of Sultanahmet, with a lot of shops and restaurants around. The breakfast was excellent with over 50 products, including Turkish items and had a good variation.

No negative aspect detected.

8.8/10

United Kingdom, January 2023

The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to explore all the tourist attractions in the area. With so many major attractions within walking distance, you can easily explore the city without the need for transportation. Additionally, there are plenty of eating places nearby, allowing you to indulge in delicious local cuisine. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfast spread is fantastic, offering a variety of delicious options to start your day.

The rooms lack soundproofing, and noise from the nearby tram line can be heard throughout the day.

9.8/10

United Kingdom, January 2023

Convenient location near attractions, helpful staff ensured smooth sightseeing; varied breakfast options; comfortable bed; prompt wifi fix; would stay again.

United Kingdom, October 2022

The staff at this hotel were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly helpful, spoke excellent English, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We felt like part of the family during our time here.

Our stay at this hotel was great. I couldn't think of any improvements that could be made.
