My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were modern, clean, and quiet with an amazing view, and the huge jacuzzi spa bath was a luxurious touch. The staff were incredibly helpful and cheerful, especially Hussein, who went out of his way to make my stay special. The location is perfect for exploring the main attractions, like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, just a short walk away. However, the dining experience could have more variety, but overall, I had a fantastic time.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and very clean, although the wifi signal was not the best and the bathroom was a bit small. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, close to all the important sightseeings and in a quiet area. The dining experience was excellent with a small but perfect selection of dishes. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in the heart of the old town, close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms, though small, are cozy and perfect for couples or solo travelers. The service staff are genuinely kind and helpful, making the stay enjoyable despite some cleanliness issues. The restaurant offers a varied selection but might lack some traditional Turkish dishes. Overall, a convenient choice for exploring Istanbul at a reasonable price.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was superb, being right between Hagia Sophia/the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar, and the service was consistently good, there were some aspects that could be improved like the room size and breakfast rush accommodation. Overall, a decent stay with a few hiccups.
