10/10 Exceptional

This is a small boutique hotel with a lift and staircase. The rooms overlook a narrow street with restaurants nearby. This is a great location to explore the Sultanahmet sights on foot: spice bazaar, Bosphorus cruises, Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, blue mosque, Hagia Sophia. I walked around and returned to my room for midday rests. The room is small but had all I needed. Breakfast was yummy.

Little Gem in Sultanahmet

We had a great time - the location is fantastic - a couple of mintes from tram stations and major attractions. The service was excellent and the owners were very friendly. The room we stayed in was a bit small, but this is quite normal for hotels in the old city and definitely great value for money.

Nice stay close to Sultanahmet

Very convenient location to Sultanahmet with Tram stop just 5 min away and lots of restaurants and coffee options in the Main Street. The staff were very nice and helpful and it almost felt like you are staying in your friends house. The only slight negative was the noise on the street below as it’s a busy area with restaurants and some music being played but it got all quiet roughly after 1 am. For the price I paid it was good value!

The only snafu was power outage and elevator didn’t work for one day. But that wasn’t their fault. But staff and hotel were wonderful and clean and attentive

Lovely little hotel close to everything!

What an amazing little hotel, so close to all of the sites of old Istanbul! The staff are so lovely and accommodating with lots of tips and answers to questions. They even took the time to show me to the room and explain the amenities. I had a room w a double bed and found it roomy enough. Not huge rooms but very tidy and efficient. I'm on vacation in the city so didn't need a room to lounge in but it was nice to come back to after a day out. I saw the room w two singles and I wouldn't hesitate to choose it next time, if need be. The main sites (Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc.) are only 5-7 mins away and the tram station is just a half block over. Food options, convenience stores, and shopping are also a half block over. Nice little continental breakfast in the morning (cheese, whole fruit, cereals, bread, some small baked goods, coffee and tea) I'll definitely return!

The hotel is strategically located walking distance to visit most of the attractions of Istambul. The people who work there are very friendly and love helping the guests. Nice breakfast in a petit area they have at the entrance. The hotel is small but comfortable, it has elevator in case guests need to go to the Upper floors.it better to stay in the second floor upwards, since it is easily heard the noise or conversations in the lobby if you are staying in the first floor. Finally, the área is sorrounded by good restaurants.
