The hotel is a hidden gem in Istanbul with a fantastic location, just minutes away from major landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff are truly exceptional, making the stay special. Rooms are well-maintained and elegant, while the view to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque is spectacular. However, the rooms can get a bit hot and some areas show signs of aging.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was incredibly convenient, close to all the major attractions in Sultanahmet, making it easy to explore the area. However, the room I was assigned wasn't soundproof, so I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms and construction noise from the hotel's ongoing renovations below. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially towards my 7-month-old baby girl, but there were some lapses in hospitality that could be improved upon. The dining experience, while offering a nice variety, lacked the promised view and there were some inconsistencies. Overall, I found the facilities satisfactory, though there were minor issues that affected my stay.

Staying on the upper floors with a view of the Blue Mosque was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious and offered a spectacular view of the mosque and the sea, complemented by a plentiful breakfast. While the location near historical sites was superb, the absence of good cafes or pharmacies open at night was a downside.

The hotel's proximity to Ayasofya and Sultan Ahmad area, along with being close to Laila Street, facilitated access to shopping areas and cultural sites. The view of the Blue Mosque added charm, but the lack of good cafes and pharmacies open at night was noticeable.

The hotel offers amazing views of Sultanahmet Camii, but the ongoing construction noise can be intrusive at times. The rooms are a definite highlight, but lack soundproofing.
