Great value for the location

I booked this room to be in Sultanahmet because I only had a one day layover in Istanbul. I wasn't expecting much for the price but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the room was small, but it was clean and looked newly redone. The bed was decently comfy, the bathroom was great with strong hot water and there is even a view of the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque from the roof at breakfast. The guys working there were very nice and had a cheap shuttle to the airport. Overall, a great little place in the middle of everything if you're ok with a smallish space.

Centralised and Compact Hotel

The staffs at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. Pleased with the location which is near to many great historical sights. The breakfast is good to get one going for the day. The only DOWNSIDE is that the room is very very small. There is literally no place to open our luggage. We have to sort our luggage on the bed or on the floor. There is water dispenser and coffee/tea making facility at the front reception which is very handy. Overall, I am happy with my stay for the price I am paying per nite.

Nice place

It was a very nice hotel, but it was quite small. Everyone was very nice though and we're always willing to answer questions. Our room had a little draft but it wasn't anyrhing we couldn't handle. Nice room for a nice price. We couldn't beat it!

Chambre Deluxe au 5 ème. Bof odeur d essence pénible, propreté limite et pas de quoi suspendre sa serviette dans la salle de bain. Robinetterie vétuste. Pas de lampe de chevet, obligé de se lever pour éteindre. Mauvaise connexion internet.Pdj moyen. Le bon point : bien situé et personnel sympathique. Bilan : pas génial j ai trouvé mieux et moins cher le jour suivant.
