Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located in the historical center of the city, offering easy access to the main Old City sites and close to Sultanahmet area. The rooms are comfortable, but the air con on level 1 did work as expected. The service was exceptional, with a kind upgrade to our reservation and a warm welcome. The dining options could have had more hot food varieties. Overall, a great neighborhood to stay in Istanbul.
The hotel is wonderfully located in the historical center of the city and offers a great neighborhood vibe. The rooms are equipped with a king-size bed and attached baths. The service stands out for kindly upgrading our reservation at a discount. However, the dining experience, while with different varieties, could have had a bit more hot food. The hotel is near to all the important heritage sites of Istanbul, making it ideal for sightseeing.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is superb, right in the heart of Sultanahmet district, within walking distance to all the important heritage sites of Istanbul. The rooms were cozy with working air conditioning and attached baths, but could benefit from a bit more hot food variety in the dining options.
