This hotel caters extremely well for all the sightseeing you want to do. You don't need to use public transport you can literally walk everywhere. The hotel has recently been re-decorated so looks clean and fresh and our room was stylishly furnished although the bed mattress did not suit me as it was far too soft and I developed a... More

When our airport pick-up couldn't find the hotel, after several phone calls, the van dropped us off a few streets away and someone from the hotel came out to find us! Everyone was very helpful and friendly; our room was on the 3rd floor & had a great view of the Blue Mosque (&, if we craned our neck, a... More

Brilliant location, breakfast is OK but you have to pay extra for omelette etc. Boiled eggs are included though. The hotel and rooms are relatively small but OK for a couple and the decor is brilliant. Free WiFi also included which is very useful. Best thing is location though, walking distance from major attractions and grand bazaar and also very... More

Reasonable rates secure a hotel in an excellent location, walking distance to all attractions. Street of restaurants just around the corner which is a bonus after a long day. The staff are very friendly and helpful with a good knowledge of English. The room is smallish but certainly fit for purpose and clean and tidy, we had two rooms and... More

If you know what is good for u do not stay in this hotel. It was disgusting. Changed rooms 3 times. First night they put us into the basement. smelt of mould, after complaining they moved us into another twin which had 1 single bed and a fold up bed. The room was so small we couldnt move without hitting... More

What can i say, really friendly staff, lovely comfortable room, very clean, great breakfast, very competitive in rates, and right in the heart of all the sights and sounds of old town Istanbul and not to far from the tram stop which links right to the airport. If i was to be really picky then I would say watch out... More

Located within walking distance of the major central attractions was the best feature of this hotel - and complimentary hot drinks in the lobby were welcome...Our rooms were very cramped, one toilet almost unusable for a normal-sized human and the breakfast spread was barely average. There are plenty of other hotels nearby...
