"I was very happy staying here for the two weeks I was in the Sultanahmet area. The location is close to all the important historic sights you‘d want to see. The hotel is also just a few steps from public transportation, great Turkish restaurants, bank ATM’s, and shopping. Muhammed as well as the other manager, the kitchen and housekeeping teams were all outgoing, friendly, and professional. The rooms are clean, the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable, and the bathrooms had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. The WiFi was strong and easy to connect to. The breakfast offered plenty of traditional Turkish options like simit, olives, cheeses, sausage, cucumbers, tomatoes, honey, a cereal assortment, yogurt, fresh fruit, and eggs. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable."
