“The warmth of the service and the magic of the location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

people found this review helpful

My partner and I spent a fantastic four nights in Istanbul at this establishment.

I am compelled to comment first and most enthusiastically about the service. Erdal, the manager, was quite possibly the warmest host I have ever encountered at a hotel. This man is genuinely in the right business!! He was bright, generous, genuinely concerned about our happiness, and quick to laugh. Abdullah, the second gentleman to staff the desk, was also very personable and truly interested in the quality of our stay. Hilmiye staffed the restaurant (among other roles) and always made sure we had a great breakfast! All three fashioned a great resource to make our stay 100% fantastic. This is a great team.

The location of the hotel, it could be argued, was effectively perfect. While its just being in the old city already makes this true, the hotel's location within this area -- a quieter but fantastically convenient street -- made it even better. We had a magnificent city at our feet!

We stayed in two rooms while at this hotel. The first night was spent in one of the smaller rooms on the second floor which one might find a little tight if one is used to conventional Western/North American rooms. The remaining nights were spend in the Dolmabahce Suite (top floor, overlooking the Strait), a genuinely great room. The beds were comfy, the water was hot, and the view was perfect.

The all important question: Would we stay here again? Absolutely an unqualified yes. Thank you, folks, you gave us memories which will last a lifetime!

Bonus: Make sure you take the time to enjoy the finches!!

Room Tip: Ask for the Dolmabahce Suite as it's a very nice big room with a great view. You *might* find so...

“Istanbul in the snow.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Found this hotel as a package with Easy Jet. Researched on Trip advisor and found that the hotel was everything previous people had said. Had the 3 bedroom in the eaves. Large, warm,
clean and comfortable. Was aware that there was no lift so climbing up the 3 flights of stairs helped to improve the fitness levels. On the plus side there was only one flight of stairs to the roof terrece to have breakfast. We certainly had one of the best views of the Blue Mosque, and of the Bosphorous, well when it wasn't snowing!!! Staff helpful, we were quite happy to use the tram, vernicular railway and bus service. We will happy to stay there again.

Room Tip: Rooms higher up had better views

Our small 3 people (including the maid!) service team at the hotel was absolutely lovely and made us feel like home. Location is great, highly recommended, even for a non-romantic trip!

“Great Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Erdal, the manager, is incredibly helpful and accommodating. The hotel is charming and a 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sofia. Breakfast is included and is served on a rooftop with amazing views of the Bosphorous. To be clear, the whole Sultanahmet district is focused on tourism and the restaurants and hotels in the area all cater to foreigners. Having said this, we felt very safe walking at night and you can access the entire city from this location using public or private transportation. My one suggestion would be that, if you are going to take a taxi in Istanbul, you are best served to ask the hotel to arrange for one.

Room Tip: Use the staff to help plan your daily excursions in and around Istanbul.
