It was very close to the major attractions in the Old Quarter: a couple of blocks from the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum, a short walk to the Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Our suite room gave us plenty of space to relax.

The location is excellent. It is in the old quarter, within an easy walking distance to Hagia Sophia and the museum, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Topkapi Palace. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast buffet was extensive, offering European, English, Asian and Turkish dishes. I am happy to recommend this hotel.

Checking in and out was quick and smooth. Breakfast had quite a varied choice. The rooms were cleaned every day and the staff were polite and friendly. We had no problems with the WiFi in any of the rooms. The view of the Bosphorus from the breakfast terrace was amazing. Nevzat on reception and the bellboy who worked alongside him were so friendly and helpful that it made our stay more welcoming. I would recommend this hotel as it is so close to some of the main attractions.

Wonderful hotel. I originally booked another hotel but had to cancel because it was not at all livable. I randomly came across this hotel and I am very happy I did. This hotel is on a lovely quiet street, close to all the attractions/ restaurants and shops, has an amazing friendly receptionist, and the room was clean with a large bathroom. The price is also perfect. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay.
