A very nice traditional boutique type hotel with an excellent restaurant and attentive service. Close to the tourist attraction but also close to traditional part of Istanbul. Nice rooms, the ones close to the entrance and facing the restaurant garden are nice but noisy at night.

Room had a musty gross smell and the bedsheets were not clean. They put me in a basement room which was even worse. Also the toilet barely flushed. I requested a new room and they said there were none available. Ive stayed in better hotels for half the price. Definitely would not stay here again.

The service in this hotel is excellent… friendly and helpful. The garden setting is also lovely and the cuisine in the restaurant is first class… especially the chicken güveç! The only downside of my stay was a very noisy room on street level with vehicles, mopeds, scooters passing 4 feet from my window. Quite a racket so I slept badly for several nights. Otherwise a lovely experience. Otherwise

This hotel is not what it used to be (i.e. wonderful). The breakfast is no longer excellent but sub par. The afternoon and evening restaurant has been leased to an independent company and while the food is good, it’s very pricey and the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were not offered water when we sat down and had to request it midway through the meal. There was no guidance offered on the menu. Our room was extremely noisy (on the front) and we got little sleep on the first night.

everything was good except that it was not easy to find plus it was in the interior and the traffic was horrible. However, it is in walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sophia, so if you are athletic, and likes the walks, you will be fine.. I say the staff are tops

Highly recommended

Excellent characterful hotel- built around a garden courtyard in which you can find the restaurant which is most excellent! Possibly the best in the area, good food supported by very attentive and pleasant staff. Speaking of which the staff were all absolutely wonderful special shout outs to Mrs Merve who sorted the transfer from airport and Mr Elvin who sorted out local events. Special thanks also to the hotel cat for providing cat related home comforts. Situated 5 minutes from the hippodrome and blue Mosque, say 10 mins from Hagia Sophia and 15 from Topkapi. 15 minutes the other way to the Grand Bazaar . I can whole heartedly recommend !

Very poor AC, No Parking and broken Jacuzzi

All I am going to say is that the hotel is advertised incorrectly. There is no parking option. Paid street parking os the only option and that cost $20 per night - The hotel management absolutely did not care. The AC broke in our room that was at the top of the building, and the noise and temperature was unbearable - eventually we were moved to a different room. In both rooms the advertised Jacuzzi bath was not working properly. For €155 per night this was a disgrace. If you threw a stone in any direction you would hit 10 other hotel options that I would try before going back again.
