This hotel is a hidden gem nestled in the very center of Sultanahmet. The value for money is exceptional, with prices that are affordable for any traveler. The attention to detail is evident throughout, from the beautifully furnished rooms to the small balconies that offer a glimpse of the vibrant streets below. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to provide information and make your stay memorable. The breakfast at the roof terrace is a highlight, with a delightful view of the Bosphorus to accompany the fresh daily options.
No negatives to mention, everything was perfect.

I stayed in a hotel that was very close to all the sights in the old city. It was in a great location, just a short walk from attractions like the blue Mosque and Topkapi palace. The hotel was right in the center of the lively Sultanahmet district, with excellent bars and restaurants nearby. The room was comfortable and the service was good. The breakfast had tasty rolls and the hotel had free parking.
The only downside was that the room was a bit noisy, possibly due to Ramadan.

The hotel is conveniently located near Sabiha Gokcen airport, making it easy for travelers to reach. it is a short distance away from the main Mosque and the Sultanahmet tram station. This allows guests to easily explore the old monuments and attractions in the city. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay for guests. The staff provide friendly and helpful service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The breakfast provided is delicious and there is a rooftop terrace with a scenic view.
Some guests may find the hotel to be basic in terms of amenities and facilities.

The neighbourhood was excellent - lots of bars, restaurants, and funky shops nearby. The hotel staff was super friendly and the room was beautiful and spacious. Easy to get to tourist areas and walking distance to points of interest.
Nothing to complain about at all.

Had an amazing time at this hotel during Christmas! the staff were so friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the bar. the location was perfect for exploring the famous sights and the nearby tram stops made it easy to get around. the rooms were clean and had everything we needed, including a hairdryer and TV. the breakfast buffet on the rooftop terrace was delicious, with a great variety of food. the views from the terrace were stunning and made our mornings even more special.
The only downside was that the hotel could get a bit noisy at times, but I guess that's expected in a busy city like this. it didn't really bother us and we still had a fantastic stay.
