Ottima la posizione, lo staff é molto accogliente.

Cons:

Il pagamento obbligatorio in cash che ci é costato 20€ in più per le commissioni del ritiro al bancomat.
Zona centrale molto comoda ma anche un po’ rumorosa.

Pros:

At first, it looks totally unreal: centre, a view to the main attractions, all the historical places in a 10 min walking distance. But the reality exceeds these expectations. The level of hospitality is fantastic, like you are visiting old friends. Personnel always to help, give some advice, support and cheer you up.

Cons:

The building itself might be considered quite old. The Terrace has wonderful view but might be cold during late evening. However, those I such a minor thing that are definitely not worth to be considered for the decision to stay here.

Very kind and helpful hosts, clean and quiet rooms, great location
Pros:

It's no surprise this place has a 5-star rating—it truly deserves it! From the owner to the staff, everyone was amazing. I
I traveled to many places in Europe, but I never met such kind and helpful hosts before. If anyone from the team read this, thank you again for your kindness and help.
You can feel that they really care about their guests and want everyone to feel good here, and Yeşim is incredibly warm, caring, and has a motherly touch that makes you feel right at home.

The hotel is clean (they clean every day), the beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast is very good. The area is also quiet for the center of Istanbul. We asked for a quiet room, and they listened 🙂 We also got a room with elevator access.

The view from the top terrace is stunning— You can spot the Marmara sea and the Hagia Sophia from there.
The location is perfect: Sultanahmet tram stop, and other important/famous places are only about 5 minutes away on foot.

If we come to Istanbul again, we will definitely stay here again.

Central location, main sights are 5-10 minutes walk away. Staff was really friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, and them offering a turkish coffee after breakfast was a really nice touch.
