Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant two-night stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near shopping and main attractions. The room was comfortable and clean, although the absence of windows to open the area meant fresh air was lacking. The best views of the Blue Mosque, bridge, and sea can be enjoyed from rooms 501 and 502.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were the best in the area, with a balcony overlooking the Bosphorus, making it the top choice in Sultanahmet. Although a bit outdated, the view from the highest point was breathtaking. The service was incredibly helpful, especially Ahmet, who went above and beyond, even surprising us with a birthday cake. The location was strategic, just a short walk from the famous mosques and the grand bazaar. The dining experience was one of the best I have ever had, with delicious and plentiful local offerings. Simply amazing!
The hotel is a good value for money considering the location, although the rooms are not so big and lacking a view. It was clean but small. The service was very helpful and understanding, making the stay delightful. The location is great, near public transport and key attractions. The dining experience could be improved with more variety. Overall, a fully justified stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel offers spectacular views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Bosphorus from clean and spacious rooms. While the rooms were slightly smaller than expected, they were well-decorated and refreshed daily. Keep in mind, the rooms can get a bit warm in winter.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were a bit small but offered great value for money. They were comfortable, had the Qibla Direction sticker, and a lovely view. I always felt at home in the rooms, even on rainy days.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with clean rooms, a great location, and friendly service. While the rooms are not very spacious, they provide what's needed for a good night's sleep for busy tourists. The dining experience is satisfactory with a variety of Turkish breakfast choices, and the view from the restaurant terrace is impressive.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, the economy room I chose may have been a mistake as it was small with no views. However, it was exceptionally clean and the location was convenient with everything close by.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly and outstanding service. Its outstanding location provides easy access to major historical attractions, although rooms are small. The dining experience is delicious and varied, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel was amazing, with really hot and humid rooms in October but offering a mix of Turkish traditional and typical continental food. While the rooms were a bit small, the experience overall was fantastic.
Although the hotel's rooms were tiny for two people, too hot even with adjusting the thermostat down, and not very clean compared to the pictures, they were ultimately clean, comfortable, and had good heating. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, offering a personal and welcoming atmosphere, with outstanding views over the mosques. The location was very close to all the main attractions, making it convenient for exploring the old city. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a wide variety that catered even to vegetarian and vegan preferences. The hotel lacked soundproofing, impacting the overall sleep quality, but it made up for it with a great view of the Bosporus and the Blue Mosque. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with its great location and friendly staff.
