What guests loved the most

“Receptionist, Yunus, was extremely helpful. Helped to carry two heavy luggages up to top-most floor, both ways! We arranged to have a mail delivered to the hotel address for our pick up upon arrival. Manager, Saleh, informed me immediately when the letter arrived, and made sure the letter was ready for collection when we checked-in almost midnight. Breakfast array was adequate and satisfactory. Good airport shuttle arranged for night flight out, and they allowed us to use their facilities while waiting. Overall, I am pleased with the hotel service and location.”

, Malaysia

“Everything was very good. Staff helped us very much with information about what and how to do in Istanbul (especially Saleh). Without this information we would have lost a lot of time and money.”

“I loved it because it's a small, intimate property, just like going out of town to your holliday house. The staff was very friendly and the room impecable. Bonus points: cleaning service, lovely interior garden, animal friendly, rooftop terase with a great view and one of the best locations (very close to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and a large variety of restaurants all around the area)”
