Hotel with very friendly staff next to Hagia Sofia. The breakfast is superb. And it is close to the main attractions. The problems are: 1. Very noisy room next to a busy street, and 2. There is a big slope in front of the hotel without car access. You have to walk about 500 meters in order to take a cab.

Best location in Sultanahmet, Istanbul

This has to be the best location in Sultanahmet, Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque and Basilica all across the street. Very safe and interesting neighborhood. Good free breakfast and friendly staff. The bathroom is slightly dated, rooms are smaller, but location, location and location. We like it and recommend it highly.

Lo que no me gustó es que los taxis del puerto no te llevan cerca del hotel tuve que caminar como media hora cargando maletas y como no conocía no encontré el hotel, después de buscarlo por fin lo encontré. Sugiero que cuando confirmen la reservacion no sugieran algún servicio hitel o que nos den la hopcion de reservarlo en a través de expidia
