Reviews
Haidara from Sweden (10/10)
Good staff and location, clean rooms
Yingying from Switzerland (9/10)
Great location, friendly staff.
Diana from Romania (10/10)
The rooms were really nice and welcoming. We enjoyed the in room hamam experience to its fullest and the balcony view where we could see the Marmara sea, even if a small part of the view. The location was perfect -very close to Sultanahmet Mosk and 7 min walking from the Tram (T1). The rooms were cleaned and supplied daily and the breakfast was tasty, traditional and variate. The stuff was helpful from free upgrading our room from downfloor to the first floor (better light even if the room was smaller), carying our bags and giving us precious info about what were our options for the New Years Eve Party. So, what can I say? Spotless. ♥️
