The hotel is a nice place with clean and spacious rooms, though they are a little bit small. The service was incredibly nice and super helpful. The location is very convenient for tourists in Istanbul, Turkey, as it is close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Hagia Sophia. The dining experience, although good, could be slightly better. Overall, a recommended hotel for a stay in Istanbul.
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 is an absolute gem hidden in Istanbul, with clean and elegant rooms, fantastic staff, and a location just minutes away from major attractions. The rooftop restaurant offers complimentary drinks and snacks, although cleanliness could be improved for the price paid.

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. You'll appreciate the friendly and helpful service, even if the dining options could use some variety. The location is a hidden gem in Istanbul, perfect for exploring the old town, although the noise from the nearby construction can be a drawback.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean and roomy rooms offering a view of both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
