The hotel layout is quirky more like apartments than a hotel. You are paying hotel prices without the facilities. Having
Pros:

It’s very central location in the heart of Sultanahmet. Walking distance of all the attractions.

Cons:

It was more like staying in an apartment but being charged hotel prices. It was difficult to get a drink past 10.30 in the hotel and the staff in the second Courtyard area were not very pleasant.

fantastique
Pros:

Accueil excellent, personnel aux petits soins, on n'a pas à se plaindre de ne pas avoir d'ascenseur ! chambre magnifique, situation géographique parfaite pour visiter les lieux historiques et les musées; bref je reviendrai surement !

Cons:

pour moi pas un problème, mais il faut noter qu'il n'y a pas d'ascenseur: pour certaines personnes ça peut poser problème si elles ont des difficultés pour se déplacer mais pour ce qui est de porter les valises le personnel nous aide avec le sourire !

Amazing stay in a beautiful location.
Pros:

Beautifully located and presented. People walking past were taking pictures of the buildings as they were very pretty

Cons:

None of the tv channels were in English, I know it is located in Istanbul but there was little to no choice in that regard. Also be aware that, since this is located right next to the mosque, there are crowds and the call to prayers from the mosques throughout the day and night are very loud.

If it wasn’t for the noisy family I would have rated my stay higher.
Pros:

The property was great and central to a lot of sites.

Cons:

The room where I was located was very close to another room where a family with kids was located and they were very noisy that I had to complain to the front desk about the noise.
