    This hotel is not the good one in terms of modernism, the building himself was old and no sound isolation, you can ear people from the other rooms. Bathroom with terrible smell we believe is from the water pipe, but nothing that you can not solve it, just closet the bathroom door and put some fresh spray on.

    The location is perfect few minuts walking from all the main sigthseeing, we didnt need to use a public transport as all you can make by foot. Also plenty of shops near by for you to buy whatever you need. Also there was a tipical restaurante in the corner that we make it our place to eat dinner. Th staff there was very helpfull and friendly. The bed was confy. We enjoyed ear the morning call prayer from our room. AC in the rooms working perfect. Will defenetly stay there on my next visit and also recommend to family and friends.

    Perfect location if you want to visit the historical sites in Istanbul. 2 minutes far from tram station which you can use to reach the most important sites, also reach Otogar and Airport by changing to metro in Aksaray station. The service was great, very polite and helpful staff.

    The hotel building is old and needs renovation. Rooms are very compact without sound proof. We had a baby and were given a second floor room, without lift it was a bit of a hassle to go up and down. Breakfast options are very limited.

    The best part of this hotel is its location. It is a very close walkable distance to Hagia Sofia, Blue mosque and palace. Tram stations can also be reached in a few mins. The hotel staff is friendly and arranged for an airport taxi and other things.

    That tgere was no fridge in the room, although they were kind enough to let me store food in the kitchen's fridge for free

    Both receptionists on both days were extremely kind and supportive. They went above and beyond in supporting me as I had to deal with issues that were not relted to the hotel. They were both kind, helpful, and generous, offering me free tea, fruits, and free calls from their mobiles.

    It is in the old centre, Sultanahmet. Very hood location, you can see many things . There is a tram station also, if you want to go to Galata Kulesi and Taksim, but if the weather is good, it is better to go by foot. Breakfast was good, traditional. Everything you need to know, just ask the personel, they will help.

    We loved staying here, we found the old wooden building charming. It is easily accessible by public transport. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing us with detailed information during our stay. We left at dawn on our last day back home, the airport transfer they arranged arrived on time.

    The location was awesome and it was just meters away from the Hagia Sofia, Sultan Ahmet square and the Blue Mosque. Being at the city centre, the hotel was close to bars and restaurants and the very centre of never sleeping Istanbul. The building was historical and the style of rooms' decoration was awesome.

    Nice to stay in a Istanbul old styled hotel.
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I found the room a little small, the bathroom very tiny and and the shower needed a bigger screen to stop water heading to wards the toilet, and there was no view as such.

    The hotel is a classic example of old Istanbul, which has been replaced by modern structures, it is handy for the tram system to get about and is not far to walk to the main attractions of Istanbul such as the blue mosque and roman cistern( need to get there early to avoid queues). there is a local shop at the bottom of the street. The breakfast is self service and the staff are very good and helpful.

    I like to describe it as character but if you need a big fancy bathroom then you would be disappointed. The grouting and sealant work looked like Stevie Wonder did it and I worried the toilet seat might come away at any moment but we were happily there 5 days and the positive points of the place more than made up for these cosmetic negative issues.

    The hotel provided a 2-room suite (rare) and considering the perfect central location so close to Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque it was good value for money. Their breakfast cafe room was always open for free hot drinks during the day and they make the best eggy bread for breakfast. The staff were on hand 24/7 and were all very friendly and helpful. They also own a restaurant of same name a short walk away which was also very good value. We went during a cold spell but the rooms were lovely and warm and shower was powerful with plenty of hot water.
