Reviews
Aicha from France (9/10)
The hotel was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly. There were three guys—Pusat, Ali, and unfortunately, I forgot the third one. They were all kind, helpful, and very attentive to our needs!
Joan from Spain (9/10)
The cleanliness. Very professional workers there, we were absolutley comfortable here. We’ll come back
Gleidson from Australia (8/10)
It is a dated building and at the bottom of a hill. To get to the main attractions, you have to climb winding roads.
On the way up, you see ladies manufacturing sandals, like it is 1920. It is a less developed part of town, but I always felt safe as a solo traveler, even late at night.
But for the value, the quiet, the charm and the historic aspect, and most of all, the exceedingly friendly hosts, I would stay again. Bed was the right level of firmness. Shower had good pressure. There is a kitchen and fridge that guests can use.Dan from United Kingdom (9/10)
Lovely small scale hotel in the old quarter of Istanbul. Room was perfect. Plane delayed and showed up at 4 in the morning and there was a member of staff waiting for me. Great service!
Marija from Serbia (9/10)
I recommend it! Great location, clean and comfortable. It's only a 10-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and just a few minutes from the seaside promenade. There are shops and restaurants in the side streets, and the hotel kitchen is available for your use. Although it's close to tourist attractions, the location is quiet and peaceful, allowing you to relax and get a good night's sleep.
The host is fantastic and available at any time for anything you need.Anna from Poland (9/10)

Amal from Denmark (9/10)
It was a really nice lokation. Supermarket and restaurants only 5 min far by walk. The Beyazit trampway station (the grand bazar) was only 10 min far by walk from the hotel.
Everything was nice and very clean, the bathroom was very clean. Nice furnitures and a very comfortable bed. Shared kitchen with a nice garden to sit in.
The staff Pusat, Ali and Baris were very sweet, polite, serviceminded and always helpful with everything.
I would really recommend this pleasant little hotel.Yuhan from France (9/10)
Kind staff, willing to help you all the times, lovely hotel with interesting decorations, near the beach where I usually take a walk after dinner. Besides, there are many restaurants on this road, you have a lot of choices. Many important attractions are just within walk distance. By all means, I recommend this hotel, and I will surely come back again. Thanks.
