Pablo from Ecuador (9/10)
The location is perfect for tourism
Marco from United Kingdom (8/10)
Great quiet location.
Although close to the mosque.Антон from Russia (9/10)
Really recommend the suit on the top floor. It's quite spacious with a nice terrace overlooking the sea. It might be used as another bedroom too, because there's a cosy sofa in the corner.
The staff is really nice and helpful, fond of children. The hotel is pretty small like most in this neighborhood, and it feels like you're at home.Juanda from Indonesia (9/10)
Nice breakfast. Nice view during breakfast. Great location for value of money.
Ivan from Netherlands (8/10)
The location of the hotel is great, close to all touristic places, restaurants and mini markets. You can walk, no need to use transportation. Hotel is very clean and basic. Rooms are very simple. For people that are most of the day out of the rooms, the hotel is excellent. Breakfast is served on a roof top in a hotel next doors. It is very basic, but you can choose between several dishes. People working in the hotel are very friendly and helpful.
Muhammad from Indonesia (7/10)
Short distance from hagia sofia, really useful if you have a long layover on a transit flight in istanbul. We are coming late night but grateful they keep the slot for us and even upgrade it.
