A gem of a hotel in the heart of Sulatanahmet with wonderful staff and fabulous views. Amazing value for money. We wil
Pros:

Excellent location, close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia etc. and tram stop. Fabulous views from the balcony, clean and comfortable room with a great powerful shower. The breakfast was very good - buffet style with scrambled and boiled eggs, fruit, yoghurt etc and variations through the week. The standout feature of this hotel though are the wonderful staff team who did everything they possibly could to make our stay very special. (We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary). Nothing was too much trouble and we were always greeted with warmth and kindness from everyone. A special thank you to Halit who was always there to help and guide us to make our trip the best it could be. We are looking forward to our return in November!

Cons:

These things wouldn’t stop us returning, but minor issues for us were not having space for a bedside table (I made my own with my suitcase!) and no hook on the back of the bathroom door/limited bathroom shelf space. It was also irritating that the WiFi kept logging out after every use, so needed the password re-entering. But again, the WiFi signal worked fine and we were on the top floor, so we weren’t too troubled really when looking out at that fabulous view!

Definitely recommend staying here. Wonderful location, staff and facilities.
Pros:

It’s very cozy and in a great location. The room was spacious and we loved to have the balcony overlooking the ocean. Staff was amazing and made my birthday exceptionally special with a cake and a special way they made the bed. We are so happy with the stay.

Sorry this is not what I saw in photos
Pros:

I paid extra for a sea view but room was very tiny, and actual view was entirely different from the photos shared. it was far away, between sea and room there was so many bad view buildings and it was awful.

Cons:

very small and tiny place, photos mislead a lot about hotel building and rooms. and room views. it was not I was expecting i paid high price for no value it was better to pay a little more and get much high value places with better views.

Pros:

スルタンアフメット広場から徒歩5分の好立地。
有名なアヤソフィア、ブルーモスク（スルタンアフメット・モスク）トプカプ宮殿は徒歩圏内。
近隣には多くのレストランがありますが、単価高めの観光地レストランばかりです。一番近い路面電車の駅はSultanahmet駅で徒歩8分位。ガラタ橋までここから行けます。
空港までは、バス停Akbıyıkまで徒歩移動し、Halkalı Marmarayで下車。地下鉄M11線に乗り換えてİstanbul Havalimanı（空港駅）のルートだと、時間は掛かりますが109リラで行けます。
スタッフの皆さんは親切でフレンドリーです。
私が宿泊したホテルは手狭でしたが、1人なので十分でした。
施設自体は清掃が行き届いていて快適です。
3泊しましたが、快適に過ごせました。

Cons:

朝食がイマイチです。連泊しましたが、内容はそれほど変わりませんでした。仕方がないですが、全体的に日本人の味覚に合わないです。そろ
