2 day stay in Istanbul - June 2025
Upon arrival we were upgraded to a lovely room with a balcony and sea view. Great location minutes from Sultanahmet mosque, Aya Sofia mosque, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and tram stops (Sultanahmet & Çemberlitaş). All the staff were very helpful throughout our stay, especially Ahmet.

Nice Oct. 2024,stay for 5 nights
Lovely, charming, well run, small hotel that is very close to the tram line and Sultanahmet Square. Very nice breakfast buffet. My room was huge! There is also a large enclosed terrace, complete with a few friendly cats. I very much enjoyed staying at this hotel.

Ótimo custo beneficio
A localização é ótima e perto de tudo, o quarto tem tamanho e espaço bom e super limpo. O atendimento também é de boa qualidade .. o único ponto que eu melhoraria é o café porque tem poucas opções que não variam muito de um dia para o outro
