From the moment we entered the hotel until we left, everything was perfect. Very friendly staff that is at your service 24/7, excellent location 5 minutes away from Topkapi palace, Aya Sofia and other great monuments. There is a free shuttle from Ataturk Airport to hotel, as well as shuttle from hotel to airport for EUR 7 per person (quite... More

We stayed four nights at this wonderful hotel. We were met at the airport and driven by shuttle to the hotel. When we arrived we were met by Ali who gave us a welcome drink and spent 15 minutes telling us about what to do in this magnificent city! He booked a Bosphorous Cruise for us and arranged a pick...

I spend hours reviewing hotels before a holiday/city break and not once have I been let down by trip advisor. It is as MOST people say it is. This hotel is no exception... It has it all. Firstly it has the top location which is so important. It is a stone's throw from all you want to see in Istanbul.... More

This was one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in. The location was perfect, on a pedestrian road with lovely restaurants and all the main sights were within walking distance. The tram was also at the end of the road should you require it. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, (when were given... More

The hotel is located in a quiet street (but see below) with some good restaurants and is very convenient (a short walk) for some of the main historical attractions. The rooms are small but nicely furnished. For me the main problems were a) noisy air-conditioning which would not blow cold air, but the window could not be left open because... More

An old building but really modern inside. My room as a single ended up as a "superior twin". I was there as part of an inclusive coach tour so can't comment on value. The breakfast was buffet style and had plenty of variety. There is an omelette-man at your service. My only problem was that there was only one choice... More

TRANSFER TO HOTEL: We stayed here for more than the days required to get a free transfer to the hotel. It took a while to get the transfer because it seems to be arranged through a consolidator so the person who has your name on a piece of paper has many others' names as well and it's not first-come-first served...

The rooms are very small but clean & beds are comfortable but small. The pillows are not as good, comprising of cut up bits of foam for filling. The meals are delivered very quickly & are acceptable but no choice - ( being with a tour group). There are plenty of shops etc. close by & most attractions can be... More

The staff was phenomenal, the breakfast superb, and the location couldn't have been better for sightseeing. The rooms are on the small side, as are most European rooms, but they were very clean and comfortable I highly recommend this hotel- Free shuttle from the airport was a bonus as were the farewell gifts from the reception . Thanks again!

We stayed at this hotel in April 2013 and were bowled over by the helpful, friendly staff in the reception who managed to find a room for us when we arrived at 10am and offered to give us coffee /breakfast until it was ready. Its an easy walk to Topkapi palace, St Sophia, Blue Mosque and other sites and to... More
