My mom and brother stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. Their room was always very clean and comfortable, and the housekeeping team took great care of them throughout their stay. The transfer service was reliable and punctual, which made their stay much easier.
A very special thank you to Gamze, who prepared breakfast with such kindness and attention. Her warm attitude and excellent service made their mornings truly enjoyable.
We also appreciate the front desk team for being helpful and welcoming throughout their stay.

No lift but assistance given to carry luggage. Centre of old town, close to transport and shops. Local breakfast buffet with some Western additions. Rooms need some care and attention.
Would stay again for price paid.
Great stay in a great location. Hotel is older, but nice. Great breakfast and awesome staff! For the rate, you can't beat it. Love the hospitality of this hotel!
Overall, excellent hotel near the Grand Bazaar. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Room was clean, amazing food all around within 1 minute walk. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay near the Bazaar.

The breakfast had fresh options and healthy ones too. They provided drinks and snacks to us. We received an upgrade to quite a big room. We found shops in the area. The room was clean. The staff were all fantastic! The only concern we had was the ‘Istanbul night music’, which might affect your ability to sleep, horns, people talking loudly, carts etc.
This a great place to stay while in Istanbul. The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend staying there.
This is a very cute hotel off the main road so you are not bothered by the hassle and bustle of the city, but you are still close to all the action. I loved that everything I wanted to see was a short walk away. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. I felt right at home. I will definitely come back
Staff was very kind. Hotel room was tiny with no place to hang up or put away clothes. Shower had black mold. Breakfast was fine. I did not get one night of decent sleepsince the other guests were so loud. I also suspect that guests were smoking in their rooms, as I could smell smoke in my room at night.
