    location convenience
    limited wi-fi

    central location, convenient access to historic sites, tidy appearance

    The shower pressure needs improvement!!! Wi-Fi connection occasionally drops, frustrating when planning your day!!! Room sizes are quite minimal, leaving little space for luggage.

    fantastic location
    friendly staff
    maintenance issues
    inadequate room fixtures
    budget hotel concerns

    The location was fantastic, just minutes from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast offered was simple yet perfectly adequate, and the staff, particularly Emre at the reception, made a great impression with their friendliness and willingness to help. The room was in need of maintenance, as some fixtures like taps and fans didn't function properly. Despite being a budget option with clean facilities, it fell short in delivering a nice experience.

    fine views
    helpful staff

    Perfect for a family getaway

    The staff were helpful, especially one guy named Emre who helped us with our bags to the room like it was no big deal. The breakfast on the rooftop was something else, with fine views, you could really feel like you're in Istanbul.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you know what, it was still worth every penny.

    warm welcome
    amazing location
    genuine hospitality
    weak water pressure
    poor soundproofing

    This place really exceeded our expectations! The warm welcome we received from the staff made settling in easy. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the major attractions, and we especially enjoyed the amazing rooftop view. The genuine hospitality from Emre and his team made traveling with our baby stress-free. The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak.

    Amazing staff and perfect location!

    The staff were super friendly, especially Emre, who was always ready to help us with anything. The location was spot on-just minutes from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia! Breakfast could be better, but the rooftop terrace made up for it. We felt totally at home. Definitely recommend it!

    practical suggestion

    Consider bringing earplugs if you're sensitive to morning noise. The early calls to prayer can be quite loud in this area.

    great location

    would like to stay longer

    The hotel is super close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. My room had a tv, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with a good shower. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Emre, who quickly brought me extra towels. Breakfast was simple but good, with tea and coffee available.
