Pros:

Sin duda las vistas desde la terraza de la última planta donde se sirve el desayuno. Espectaculares. Desde la habitación también veíamos la mezquita azul. La ubicación para nosotros perfecta, salir y entrar pasando entre la mezquita azul y Santa Sofia fue perfecto. Linea tranvía 1 a 2 minutos andando. Principales puntos de interés a 15 minutos máximo. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Pequeño, con decoración actual, agradable y personal muy amable. Desayuno correcto. Limpio.

Cons:

La habitación algo justa de espacio.

Pros:

Excellent location, friendly staff, all the main sights are just a few minutes’ walk away, clean and tidy. The only downside is that the breakfast is modest, but the terrace offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus.

very central location
Pros:

The location is near to all tourists' spots. Overall, it was clean and staff was very helpful.

Cons:

No shampoo or conditioner provided, no coffee or tea, until we requested. One side of the mattress was like sleeping in a hole. You can hear all the noises from the road and from the hallway...

Bekvämt boende med ett fantastiskt läge 100%
Pros:

- Läget är enastående med direkt närhet till moskéerna Sultanahmet (Blå moskén) och Ayasofya (Hagia Sofia) samt Basilikacisternen och Topkapi-palatset.
- Takterassen, där frukosten serveras, är magnifik med en fantastisk utsikt.
- Personalen var trevliga, lyhörda och hjälpsamma. Särskilt Halil Bey.
- Rummet var fräscht och lagom stort.
- Badrummet var rent och duschen hade bra tryck (fjärde våningen).
- Utsikten från rummet var också mycket bra med vy över de båda moskéerna.

Cons:

Inget. Det var en upplevelse: 10/10

the location was excellent—very close to the Blue Mosque and the tram line.
Pros:

I appreciated the warm hospitality of the reception staff, especially Halil.

Cons:

The breakfast was quite dry with no hot meal options; after the first day, I chose to eat out instead. Additionally, the bathroom lacked toiletries, with only shampoo and hand wash provided.

Great place, near the best attractions - perfect for travellers not spending much time in the room.
Pros:

Outstanding location - you go out of the hotel and are right in front of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff was very friendly. Our room was small, but cosy - just perfect for us (me, my wife and 9yo kid). There’s a public parking right behind the hotel - very useful, if you are in Istanbul with a car. Breakfast is served in the rooftop restaurant.

Cons:

Maybe a bathroom rennovation and more variety in the breakfast would have made it perfect.

Pros:

The night manager...I cant remember his name...was the nicest young man i have met for a very long time. He was extremely helpful and lovely to deal with.

The location couldnt be better for visiting Sultanameht...the old city. We couldnt believe our eyes when we went up to the rooftop terrace for breakfast the first morning to find ourselves between the blue mosque and hagia sophia with views over the bosporus. Just wonderful.
