good location
Very well located hotel, close to a vibrant area and near Blue Mosque and other nice places in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is ok, with Turkish specialties. Our room was tiny, barely fits our luggage, but in general was a good stay.

About 50 minutes from the airport (~$40) by taxi. Location is very convenient, walking distance to main attractions. The hotel is very clean and conveniently located. Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is awesome and you can go upstairs to have it in the patio overlooking the water. Would definitely recommend and come back if travels bring us back there.

Very good food and clean accomodations. The pnly terrible thing is that during night there are some close locals that are producting music with very high volume and that’s very bad. But hoping for a future stay in the hotel. Raccomending it!

Great location.
Great place walking distance to the major sites and the tram. Good breakfast. A little noisy from outside noise but you are in the city. Very poor shower water pressure. For the price point and location I would definitely recommend this place.
