Sehr zu empfehlen
Pros:

Es war sehr sauber und das Personal sehr höflich. Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Innerhalb von 10 Minuten ist die Hagia Sofia, Blaue Moschee und Topkapi Palast erreichbar. Wir haben den Shuttle Service genutzt. Das fand ich sehr gut, weil keine Diskursionen mit Taxifahrern. Sehr schön fand ich auch den kostenlosen türkischen Tee mit Gebäck auf der Terrasse am Nachmittag. Gute Restaurants in der Nähe. Probiert das Foodie.

Cons:

Ich hatte wie oft Probleme mit den Kissen.

Great location and breakfast!
Pros:

The location is the best assets of this boutique hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice and quite wide variety of choices. Me and my mom really enjoyed the view from the breakfast terrace which overlooks the mosque.

Pros:

- Hotelul este bine poziționat, la 5 minute de Hagia Sofia, Moscheea Albastră, parcul Gulhane, Basilica Cisternă. În apropiere se găsesc 2 stații ale tramvaiului T1, cu care puteți ajunge fie în zona Marelui Bazar, fie în Eminonu sau peste Podul Galata în Karakoy și chiar la Palatul Dolmabahce( stația Kabataș). Marmaray-ul cu care se poate trece în partea asiatică, în Uskundar, este de asemene a la 5 -6 minute distanță de mers.
- Hotelul este curat, se face curățenie în fiecare zi în camere.
- Micul dejun este foarte bun și diversificat (omletă, brănză și măsline de mai multe feluri, rosii, castraveți, legume la grătar, mezeluri, lapte, cereale, ceai, cafea si altele). Între orele 17-19, pe terasa hotelului, se pot servi cafea, ceai și prăjituri din partea casei.
- Și nu în ultimul rând personalul este foarte amabil. Mulțumiri speciale managerului EROL CELIK care a răspuns de fiecare dată cu amabilitate cererilor noastre.

Cons:

Nekoliko šibka izbira za zajtrk.

The only place to stay in Istanbul!
Pros:

Fantastic location. Right in the heart of Sultanhamet, but on a quiet side street
Staff were very kind and helpful.
The rooftop terrace is amazing. Breakfast and happy hour are there with close up views of Hagia Sofia.
Very comfortable bed and nice linens. Lots of hot water.

Cons:

I was ok with breakfast because I don't eat much usually. Some visitors might not like the meats, cheeses and vegetables served.
But the little machine makes outstanding cappuccino and lattes!
