An absolutely amazing place to stay! Really close to the blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, the tram, and many restaurants! I recently stayed there with my family (6 people) for eight days. I was kind of skeptical at first as to why it has been given a rating of 3.8 however, after my stay i have chosen to give it a 4.5. The breakfast area is amazing and the breakfast in general is delicious with anything you could possibly want (it even has hot chocolate!) . Near the hotel there is a restaurant called Ortaklar which i recommend everyone going as it is the typical Turkish food with reasonable prices and amazing food.
I definitely recommend staying at this hotel as their rooms look just like their pictures and the beds were very comfortable.
Nice, cozy, romantic place
The workers in the hotel were not so helpful,the maintenance is bad,we are old couple they kept shifting us from one room to another room the reason(which i don't believe) was due to do maintenance then after heavy rain in Istanbul suddenly the washroom roof start leaking the hotel asked us to move to other room in the terrace floor which was the bad room i ever see then we decide to leave the hotel
The workers in the hotel didn't care about us me and my husband are old ,there are no complementary for our suffering in their hotel
I do not advice to this hotel
This was my first stay in Istanbul, and this hotel made it so wonderful! It was so memorable, one of the best times of my life. The staff here are very very very friendly, and the rooms have their own charm. Every morning I would get up and go to the roof terrace to eat breakfast there. Pour myself a cappuccino at their automatic barista, and feast with an amazing view in front of me. When finished with my breakfast I could go and tour the many attractions of Istanbul, which from this hotel where only a walking distance away, it was just a few minutes away from everything! Don't even get me started about the amazing view of the sea outside of our hotel window! This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed! Though, I don't know what changes this new renovation will bring, I highly recommend anyone to stay there when it opens up age this summer.
Oh, aswell I may add, that the man at the front desk was absolutely wonderful. He organized for us a very nice boat tour of the Bosphorus that was the highlight of my trip. He is very honest and gave wonderful advise on Istanbul and the things that we should watch out for. Very helpful for someone who is coming to Istanbul for the first time.
Looking back on my stay at this hotel I wish I was staying there again! It was so wonderful, and one of the best stays of my life!
I have stayed in this hotel twice. I loved it. Yes the rooms are small, but clean and well appointed. The staff were happy and helpful. The back garden is a treasure to relax in. I absolultly loved the rooftop breakfast area with the panoramic views of Istanbul. I will come back.
I haven't been to other hotels in Istanbul so I don't know how it compares to those. However, the location was good and the room service and front desk was helpful.
It's a little old and the rooms don't match up to even 4 star standards of Western countries. Their wifi was good (didn't always work).
It's super close to a lot of the main tourist attractions. This is a huge plus. Has a grocery store right across. Walking distance to some good restaurants and exchange offices. Close to Turkey train system.
Their breakfast area has a really nice view. And if you go up on the roof, it's even nicer (as long as it's not windy). The breakfast itself is humble compared to other places I've stayed. I really don't think other hotels in the area offer anything much better.
Your first impression will be that you made a huge mistake. But then you start to like the uniqueness of the place. Besides, most of your time you will be out of the hotel.
I personally would go back here again.
Staff is friendly. But the hotel is in poor condition. The rooms are small and crowded. You pay too much for too little.
rooms are fine and staff is very friendly , most of old city area is
in walking distance
Hotel location is perfect!!! Easy to walk Blue mosque , Grand bazaar, Tram station.
