We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was comfortable and stress-free. The service throughout the hotel was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. Every request was met promptly, and we genuinely felt valued as a guest. A special shoutout goes to Murat, our driver, who was absolutely fantastic. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Murat made our transportation seamless and added a personal touch that made a big difference. His warm personality and helpfulness truly stood out. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay that combines comfort, excellent service, and a personal touch. I’ll definitely be returning!

Istanbul is compact near the main sites. Even walking to the ferries is only 1 mile. The hotel is easy to find. It's clean and while not brand new, very well run. The staff is superb. Breakfast is great. Lots of choices.

We stayed in room 507.. it has a balcony where you can look to Hagia Sophia. Very quiet, comfortable bed. Breakfast room very cosy, good choice of food, excellent staff. 10 minutes walk to the main attractions. Dimitri is a great manager, helpful with local information and tours without being pushy!

Excellent location and breakfast. Excellent treatment by Rajhat. Dominic has to trust a bit in customers words and be more customer oriented; a bit rude in his approach to customers. Rajhat so kind and helpful with every request we made.

The room on the top floor with a view on Hagia Sophia was very comfortable. Breakfast was great too. But what made our stay in Istanbul truly memorable and hassle-free was our host Dmitry. Dmitry helped us a lot with advice on places to visit, ways to get around the city, and a bunch of little things that are confusing to foreign visitors.
