The property location is great, right in the heart of the action. The staff is great, the property is small but clean. Breakfast is good.

10/10

We had a great time - the location is fantastic - a couple of mintes from tram stations and major attractions. The service was excellent and the owners were very friendly. The room we stayed in was a bit small, but this is quite normal for hotels in the old city and definitely great value for money.

Very convenient location to Sultanahmet with Tram stop just 5 min away and lots of restaurants and coffee options in the Main Street. The staff were very nice and helpful and it almost felt like you are staying in your friends house. The only slight negative was the noise on the street below as it’s a busy area with restaurants and some music being played but it got all quiet roughly after 1 am. For the price I paid it was good value!

Staff are amazing, very friendly and always able to helpnwith whatever queries oe questions. Locality is superb, everything wthin walkng distance, tram stop literally outside hotel. Even though very central, busy with lots of noise and music, absolutely nothing can be heard from the rooms which is amazingly quiet and can get a good nights sleep!

What an amazing little hotel, so close to all of the sites of old Istanbul! The staff are so lovely and accommodating with lots of tips and answers to questions. They even took the time to show me to the room and explain the amenities. I had a room w a double bed and found it roomy enough. Not huge rooms but very tidy and efficient. I'm on vacation in the city so didn't need a room to lounge in but it was nice to come back to after a day out. I saw the room w two singles and I wouldn't hesitate to choose it next time, if need be. The main sites (Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc.) are only 5-7 mins away and the tram station is just a half block over. Food options, convenience stores, and shopping are also a half block over. Nice little continental breakfast in the morning (cheese, whole fruit, cereals, bread, some small baked goods, coffee and tea) I'll definitely return!

The hotel is strategically located walking distance to visit most of the attractions of Istambul. The people who work there are very friendly and love helping the guests. Nice breakfast in a petit area they have at the entrance. The hotel is small but comfortable, it has elevator in case guests need to go to the Upper floors.it better to stay in the second floor upwards, since it is easily heard the noise or conversations in the lobby if you are staying in the first floor. Finally, the área is sorrounded by good restaurants.

the staff was super friendly and amazing but the room's bathroom ruined everything. it was in a horrible condition, full of mald and the flushing was bad, water was stucking in the shower and you could not finish your shower without waiting for the water to wash down. moreover, the room was too warm and imposible to breathe during a day

Está en la mejor zona, puedes ir caminando a los principales lugares. El hotel es muy sencillo y las habitaciones pequeñas, pero lo mejor es el personal muy amable. Desayuno incluido básico. El único inconveniente es que escuchaba todo en la habitación, gente platicando en el lobby en la noche y ruido de la calle pero solo fue un rato después pude dormir. Lo recomiendo para estancias cortas y si lo que quieres es un lugar seguro para dormir
