Comfortable stay in an old Istanbul
Pros:

Our air conditioned 3rd floor room gave us a panoramic view of the Bosphorus and we watched ships come and go from our large comfy bed. Our room was spacious and well equipped, and the bathroom very large. Decore is authentic but perhaps not to everyone's taste. That said, it suits the location in this ancient part of the city. Staff are wonderful; walking distance to all the historic sites, and to local restaurants. Lots of shopping in the vicinity - high recommend Hassan's Rugs nearby.

Cons:

Breakfast was adequate, however, the pastries were not fresh.

Excellent place to stay and enjoy all the historic places which all are in walking distance.
Pros:

Everything; the location excellent, the staff very nice and professional, the breakfast plenty and good. The gardens and the view of the Blue Mosque; priceless

Cons:

The only thing I will change is; I will get new bathroom towels. They look grey (used to be white) because there are old and now the fabric is very thin. But they were always clean. It just a suggestion. But as I say all was very good. If I go back I will stay here again. I will recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Little gem hotel.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, clean, perfect location. The room was big, clean, coffee,tea and free 4 bottles of water. The night view of the blue mosque from the hotel front terrace was amazing. So beautiful.
The breakfast was good, anything you wanted, eggs, sausages, cheese,olives etc etc.
most memorable thing at the breakfast was my birthday surprise. The staff surprised me with a cake and sang happy birthday to me. Was special, thoughtful. Thank you very much.
The front desk staff, very helpful and kind.
I think this hotel is a little gem. I’ll definitely go back.
