    We had a newly decorated king room with efficient aircon and a large walk in shower plus double beds. Its perfect, central location was a plus. The restaurant was good for dinner and for every budget.

    Location of the hotel, right in the center, is within walking distance to the sights.

    You can have a little variety of breakfast, and not a tasty coffee.

    Soft bed, swimming pool with sauna, varied breakfast, tea and coffee in the room.

    I'd like some porridge for breakfast.

    Friendly staff, convenient location, delicious breakfasts.

    The cleanliness of the rooms leaves much to be desired. Other than that, I liked it.

    Charming little hotel, didn't want to say goodbye.

    The room was a nice size and well-organised and reasonably priced with hairdryer, minibar plus nice breakfast. The breakfast was rich with local dishes, absolutely basic options plus varieties too to choose from.

    charming decor
    repetitive breakfast

    Charming decor blends traditional elegance with modern comforts.

    Breakfast offerings were disappointingly repetitive.

    The staff is very friendly, and helpful. The location is great, right at the heart of the historical section in Istanbul.

    The walls in the room is a bit thin, so noises can easily go through.

    fantastic location
    friendly staff

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to all the must-see spots. The staff were friendly and helpful. My room was cleaned daily, and the breakfast buffet was quite nice. Plus, i found the value for money to be really good!

    rooms were a bit small.
