Otel ve çevresi
Pros:

İlk önce müdürü Ali Bey'in diyaloğu ve oteli tanıtması bize yeterince saygılı olması ve yardımcı olması bir otel müşterisi olarak bizden tam puan almıştır...

Otelin sürekli olarak temiz olması konumu ve sessizliği ayrıca yeni olması çok iyiydi...

Cons:

Otelin etrafında bulunan restoranlara ve restoran çalışanlarına dikkat edin hepsi tam vampir gibi kan emici sakın otel çevresinde yemek yemeyin...

Highly recommended stay in a super little hotel, close to Sultanahmet
Pros:

Great hotel in an excellent location to Sultanahmet. The staff were all very helpful, friendly and professional, helping me in making all my arrangements.
Really good breakfast to fuel your day and a terrace with beautiful views over the Bosphorus. Hotel very clean and comfortable having been newly renovated so everything is brand new! Makes a big difference. I’ll be back.

Cons:

We booked and paid for this hotel (we also received messages from the hotel regarding our stay), however after spending an hour trying to find the hotel, a local resident told us it was closed. Luckily we managed to find another hotel who had the same owner and the receptionist called the owner - there was no compensation offered for either having the hotel advertised, accepting a booking or wasting our time. Not sure if this issue falls to the hotel or booking.com but apparently it has been closed for 6 months!!

Pros:

Excellent emplacement dans le quartier de Sultanahmet, si on souhaite loger dans ce quartier très touristique. Fabuleux petit-déjeuner sur le toit du petit bâtiment. L'hôtel est simple et charmant, les chambres boisées sont sobres et de bon goût, spacieuses et confotables.

Very happy here. Staff are excellent, and I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Location of Sebnem is perfect. Within very easy walking distance of everything in Sultanhamet, and nice to be able to come back to the hotel to relax on the terrace overlooking the water. Staff are very helpful and go out of their way to help you with your travels, transportation, or whatever you need. Rooms are clean, comfortable and the hotel is a great find. I've been to Istanbul before, and if we go back, we'd definitely book Sebnem, great choice!

Cons:

Nothing. Great location, staff are super friendly and very willing to help you with your travels. You really can't go wrong staying here!!

Wonderful value for money stay
Pros:

The staff are the real gem of this hotel - Ali and Jacob gave us valuable information about the area and city, made sure we were comfortable at all times, and offered help with other services. The rooms are small and fairly basic, but very comfortable - the beds are very comfortable. There was some noise over the weekend, but seeing as the hotel is located so centrally it's to be expected. Fantastic view from the terrace.

Cons:

There were minor issues with facilities (bent pipes and broken seat in the bathroom) that could be easily repaired.
