    Great location and very nice and friendly staff

  • Lisa from Austria (9/10)

    Breakfast was very nice and rich. The location was so close to central attractions that we didn't have to use any public transport. Also, the hotel had a hotel cat, "Crazy Sofia", a very cute and nice animal, the personal touch was great.

  • Anna from Latvia (9/10)

    Really wonderful staff – they were really nice and welcoming. At first I was sceptical about the location, however, it was good for seeing real and historical Istanbul experience. A lot of attractions are near by, around 10 minute walk.

  • Nadine from Switzerland (8/10)

    It’s super well located, walking distance to the main attractions (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar). A lot of good restaurants a few meters away from the hotel. They reserved a taxi for me to go to the airport, which was super helpful. I highly recommend this hotel and I will probably stay here again when I return to Istambul!
