“Very good!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This is a small but perfectly formed boutique hotel. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, especially the manageress Sue, she has a good sense of humour, very funny!
The room was very clean and comfortable with a hair drier, the breakfast was very good with lots to choose from, cooked to order eggs, cereals, different chesees, jams, pastries etc. The location is excellent, main attractions are all within walking distance, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque. You could easily walk to Eminonu to take the ferry for the Bosphorus tour, if the weather is good, climb to the castle at the top of the hill when you stop for lunch, the view is to die for!

All in all, this is a great stopping point for a city break in Istanbul.

Room Tip: Take ear plugs with you if you are a light sleeper, there are mosques nearby :)

“Great location - clean & helpful staff, Mr. Ferdi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The hotel is just located a few minutes from the main sight-seeing points so we basically walked to most of the sights within the old town and it's just 2 minutes from the tram station, so location wise it was perfect. The room itself was very simple but clean and equipped with hairdryer, so it was alright. The best about this hotel is probably the view of it's rooftop restaurant where you get to look over the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofya during breakfast. Breakfast was pretty good too as they have a toaster for making hot toast and they have someone there to cook different kinds of egg for you at the spot, so that was really good for a simple hotel like this.

They had a new staff at reception there, Ferdi. And we were lucky yo have checked in with him as he was extremely helpful and gave us a lot of information about the city as well as even some history of Istanbul! We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel however I heard the rooms are like double priced during summer so really hope I'd still get to stay here next time I visit Istanbul which is very likely going to be some other warmer season as heavy snow at -2 degrees really wasn't the best time to visit some of the outdoor sites.

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

One of the best hotels I ever stayed! It has just a few rooms, it's really small, but the rooms are awesome! Apparently it have been redecorated recently, so the rooms and bathrooms are very modern. Also really clean, nice staff, very helpful guys. Simple breakfast, but I am not used to eat in the morning, so it's ok.
The location is just amazing, you can go by feet to almost all the sights, the blue mosque, aya sophia, grand bazaar, istambul archaelogy museum and many others. Around the hotel there are lots of nice stores, restarants, travel agencies(if you can, visit Capadoccia, it's great!).
And everything for affordable prices! Highly recommended!
