Top of the list as far as things to like, when you leave the front door you walk into a market and bam, your at the Blue Mosque! Shopping, tram, money exchange, places to eat, all close. The Hotel is lovely, but be aware there is NO ELEVATOR. I enjoyed the thick curtains that block out light, and the view from the balcony of the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorous... stunning. We loved the breakfast which included things like tomatoes cucumber olives and fresh honeycomb, if you like your eggs easy over they will make you fresh eggs. They did come in and straighten up the room and make the bed every single day, which was nice. The tram is near and you can use it to go literally everywhere, you don't have to actually buy a card for the tram you can just tap your debit card, which is very convenient and cheap. I loved my stay here, no real complaints. One thing I would like to mention though is I went when it was cold outside, inside the Hotel was very hot, but of course you can control the temperature in your room. In fact most places we went to like on the tram etc they seem to like a lot of heat, more than what I'm used to (and of course for us it wasn't actually very cold either).

Bed is very coforteable. Breakfast is poor, always same food and not too much variety. If you are late to breakfast some items will be unavaliable (croasans for example). Convenue walking distance to most of attractions (Blue Mosque, Hipodrome, Bazar, Aya Sofia mosque

Me and my wife had an awesome experience staying at this hotel. The staff is very friendly and can help you find everything you need. There is no better spot to stay in if you are inIstanbul for site seeing. I can also recommend their guide service for $120 US I had a complete personal tour of all the important local sites and it was excellent worth every penny.

The hotel is excellently situated for exploring the old historic centre of Istanbul on foot. We had a fine view over the Sea of Marmara from our sheltered balcony and there are many restaurants and shops close by. The bathroom was somewhat cramped and poorly designed but otherwise the room was fine. The breakfast was very good in the dining room with views over the sea, but we found the evening dinner of poor quality in comparison with local restaurants. We were also disappointed there was no room service when we arrived about 10.00 in the evening despite the promise of 24 hour room service on the website.

Absolutely loved the character of the hotel - very traditional with a beautiful small garden in the front of the hotel. It’s in the perfect location, very peaceful save for the call to prayer which I happen to love and just one minute walk from the blue mosque and from there very close to most of the other key attractions. Breakfast is great, a large and varied spread, and with a great view looking over the Bosphorous.
