The reception area was nothing more than a desk in the small lobby but the service was exceptional and all of the staff were super friendly. We had their largest terrace room with an enormous jacuzzi tub and the room as well as the terrace were spectacular. I would highly recommend this property, especially if you are looking for something other than a giant chain type hotel.

The Hotel was amazing. The views, food and staff were exceptional but the location was over the top in the middle of the Sultanahmet district. The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern , Hagia Sophia , Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace and shopping were all within walking distance. Would highly recommend it, the staff will even arrange tours and transportation!

Location was perfect - within steps of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi palace. Yet, was on a quiet street so felt peaceful. Rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and very vegetarian friendly. The views from breakfast room and rooftop terrace were gorgeous! Do not miss! Only wish the breakfast started earlier than 8am so we could eat breakfast and go beat the crowds at Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace. Definitely would recommend and would return here if we came back to Istanbul.

This hotel was perfect for my visit. The staff was exceptional- very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - so close to the Blue Mosque, shops, even small grocery stores, etc. The breakfast was great and in their 5th floor restaurant with a fantastic view. It was so nice to just go upstairs for dinner, an enclosed rooftop restaurant open year round. Don’t miss seeing the Blue Mosque lit up at night. I had the best view from my 4th floor room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I would definitely stay there again!

What a wonderful find! Great hotel, excellent location, and an outstanding staff. It’s just steps from the Blue Mosque and only a short walk farther to the Hagia Sophia, yet it’s tucked away on a quiet street — something that really makes a difference in busy Istanbul with all of us tourists around. The staff helped me book a hammam experience, which was absolutely amazing. I only wish I had used their help for booking other tours and cruises as well instead of pre-booking elsewhere. Their restaurant is also fantastic, with incredible views and delicious food. I truly can’t praise this hotel enough!
