I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located near major attractions like the Sultanahmet Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff was exceptionally friendly and always ready to help. However, the rooms were a bit small, which might not be ideal for everyone. The breakfast options were good, and the rooftop terrace provided a stunning view of the city.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Sultanahmet, making it super convenient for exploring Istanbul. We found the rooms to be quite small for a family but still comfortable for our needs.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is excellent, just a short walk from many key attractions, making it super convenient to explore. However, the rooms were a bit cramped, which wasn't ideal for two people with luggage, and there was an unpleasant sewage smell. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to assist, but the noise in the dining area could be better managed.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed bag. While the location is absolutely perfect and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I felt the rooms were a bit too small for two people with luggage. The dining options were quite basic and could definitely use some improvement. Overall, if you're looking for a great location and friendly service, this hotel is a decent choice, but don't expect a lot in terms of room space and breakfast variety.

I had a great experience at this hotel overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the main attractions and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The rooftop dining offered an amazing view of the city, which was a highlight. However, I did notice that the rooms could use a bit more natural light, as mine had no window view. Despite that, the staff was friendly and very accommodating, which made my stay enjoyably comfortable.
