I had a pleasant two-night stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near shopping and main attractions. The room was comfortable and clean, although the absence of windows to open the area meant fresh air was lacking. The best views of the Blue Mosque, bridge, and sea can be enjoyed from rooms 501 and 502.

My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were the best in the area, with a balcony overlooking the Bosphorus, making it the top choice in Sultanahmet. Although a bit outdated, the view from the highest point was breathtaking. The service was incredibly helpful, especially Ahmet, who went above and beyond, even surprising us with a birthday cake. The location was strategic, just a short walk from the famous mosques and the grand bazaar. The dining experience was one of the best I have ever had, with delicious and plentiful local offerings. Simply amazing!

Although the hotel's rooms were tiny for two people, too hot even with adjusting the thermostat down, and not very clean compared to the pictures, they were ultimately clean, comfortable, and had good heating. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, offering a personal and welcoming atmosphere, with outstanding views over the mosques. The location was very close to all the main attractions, making it convenient for exploring the old city. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a wide variety that catered even to vegetarian and vegan preferences. The hotel lacked soundproofing, impacting the overall sleep quality, but it made up for it with a great view of the Bosporus and the Blue Mosque. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with its great location and friendly staff.
