central location, convenient access to historic sites, tidy appearance
The shower pressure needs improvement!!! Elevators could be more efficient during peak hours!!! Wi-Fi connection occasionally drops, which is frustrating when planning your day!!! Room sizes are quite minimal, leaving little space for luggage.

The location was fantastic, just minutes from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast offered was simple yet perfectly adequate, and the staff, particularly Emre at the reception, made a great impression with their friendliness and willingness to help. However, the room was in need of maintenance, as some fixtures like taps and fans didn’t function properly. Despite being a budget option with clean facilities, it fell short in delivering a memorable experience.

Perfect for a family getaway
The staff were helpful, especially one guy named Emre who helped us with our bags to the room like it was no big deal. The breakfast on the rooftop was something else, with fine views that made the morning feel special, you could really feel like you’re in Istanbul.
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but you know what, it was still worth every penny.

Just a nice choice for a fleeting moment in Istanbul with good price value. The breakfast on the top floor was a great way to begin the day with a fantastic view. Choose a room away from the elevator for a quieter stay.

This place really exceeded our expectations! The warm welcome we received from the staff made settling in easy. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the major attractions, and we especially enjoyed the amazing rooftop view. The genuine hospitality from Emre and his team made traveling with our baby stress-free. However, the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak.

Amazing staff and perfect location!
Had an awesome time here! The staff were super friendly, especially Emre, who was always ready to help us with anything. The location was spot on—just minutes from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia! Breakfast could be better, but the rooftop terrace made up for it. We felt totally at home. Definitely recommend it!

Consider bringing earplugs if you're sensitive to morning noise. the early calls to prayer can be quite loud in this area.

would like to stay longer
The hotel is super close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. My room had a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with a good shower. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Emre, who quickly brought me extra towels. Breakfast was simple but good, with tea and coffee available. Great place to unwind after a day of exploring!

The location of the hotel is perfect! It’s just a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They assisted with our airport transfer, which made everything easier. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but sufficient to start the day. The rooftop terrace is a nice touch, offering lovely views. However, breakfast hours could start earlier, as 8:30 is too late for those with early tours. I noticed the shower could use a floor mat since it got slippery. It was also quite noisy at night due to nearby shops and traffic. Overall, I had a nice stay. just a few tweaks would make it even better.
