What guests loved the most

“I was very happy because employees helps me many times. Hotel is clean, rooms are cleaned everyday. espeacialy wants to Ayhan and Gullia and Tamara. I reccoment to every one this lovely hotel”

, Denmark

“The owner in particular and the staff in general were friendly, warm and eager to help. The owner was very helpful in suggesting day's plan for us, giving tips and insights about places, food and experiences that only an observant local can give. The owner tried to do his best in making us comfortable and by and large succeeded in it. The front office was prompt and precise in responding to our communication prior and during the stay. The location is great and that in itself is a big advantage.”

, India

“The staff were unbelievably hospitable and very accommodating. Especially Halim. Tea was always on offer and the location of literally being a stones throw from hagia sophia was a massive bonus. I will certainly stay here next time I am in Istanbul. ”

, United Kingdom

“The staff is exceptionally polite, helpful and giving! I can not stress this enough. They went out of their way to please us any way they could. The location is excellent for sightseeing. The hotel is in walking distance of all of the top sites in Istanbul. They also have a great restaurant - delicious food.”

, Bulgaria

“Not good food,small room ,dirty ,poor breakfast and weak internet.I woudnt recomand this hotel.”

, Romania

“Since my stay in Istanbul was aimed to see and enjoy all the parts of this magnifficient city, I spent only nighttime in the hotel, drinking my coffee/tea (which are free for the hotel guests) and doing plans for the next day. Wi-fi was excellent all the time which meant me a lot. Cleanliness on the level. Top roof terrace is breathtaking and open 24hrs (for the fact that the restaurant on terrace is closed this georgeous place seemed to me like my private hedonistic shelter). But the best of all was hotel stuff, warm, helpful and on access whenever you need. Hotel is easy accessible from the Ataturk airport by public traffic, which is cheap and I highly recommend that way of travel. This hotel, due to it's location gives the possibility for quick rest stop, while walking threw the town, without wasting precious time. Not a luxury hotel, but everything you need for pleasent and comfortable stay. Warmly recommend it.”

, Serbia

“Helpful and friendly staff. It has a perfect location, just in the heart of the city. It has good public transport connections including an easy way from/to the IST airport.”

, Italy

“The hotel has already an awesome place as it's situated like 300m from Hagia Sofia mosque and the blue mosque, 10 mins away from the sea , you can reach it with metro and tram public transportation , hotels in this area are looking all like this as I walked through all the area surrounding Fatih(old city) and all building are 2-3 levels of height that makes you feel the old town , very helpful people and been great experience for me and my family(wife and 4 years old son). Would go there again for sure!”
