The hotel was excellent and the staff was friendly

The location is the best to be, close to all the historical area. All the stuff was very kind and helpful. We had the roof room (5th floor) but the elevator didn’t work properly so they changed our room after 3 nights - and it was fixed only one day before our departure. The rooms are fully equipped and clean, however, there are quite some things to fix/renovate/maintain. Nothing that could really affect our stay though. The breakfast was basic but good. The hotel restaurant had some great choices if you decide to dine there as well. Overall it was a pleasant accommodation.

The hotel was wonderful. It’s in a great location near tourist shops, the Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. Breakfast was a good mix of breads, cheeses, fruits, veggies, and eggs. The room was comfortable and had a nice view of the busy street below. The staff were also welcoming and friendly. Oh, and if you eat at the restaurant for dinner (with a 20% discount) you MUST order the hummus. It was SO good. My only con is that the tram is pretty loud at night, so if you’re a light sleeper, you may want to bring some ear plugs.

Amazing spot to get out of the cool weather, very friendly staff happy to service coffee in my keep cup! Hung around a while for the free wifi but couldn’t resist more coffee. Also, a really delicious traditional breakfast platter. Cool European vibes.

This hotel needs desperately a retrofit. With a good location and a cozy, friendly staff it could have been a fair choice for a hub in Sultanahmet. But the hotel has problems and not small ones. First of all, there is no reason to claim four stars. Three stars are fair enough and not for all the rooms. I made a reservation for a Double Room with Balcony. The description on the site: „Decorated in light colors, this room features a balcony with city view, coffee&tea maker, minibar, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and seating area. Private bathroom comes with a shower, free toiletries and slippers”. What I had in fact was the ugliest accommodation I ever seen: walls with dirty and torn wallpaper, disassembled and peeled furniture, torn sheets, unlit shower, etc, but first and foremost, THE TERRACE. I had not a balcony with city views, but a terrace overlooking an inner yard full of waste and dirt with view to a disused building and with common access to everyone. Next days they give us another room, larger and in a better shape and we were able to continue the holidays. The breakfast was basic, but fair. The WIFI very, very poor. The cleaning service was ok. Overall, a hotel with potential, but neglected and in great need of a refurbishment.
