Staff is very helpful in answering inquiries and making dinner reservations.
The personale was very friendly and always happy to assist with any questions.
The breakfast was below average, if you arrived at 9:30, some of the things were finished and the trays were not refilled.
The room was quite old, and had a weird smell.

Always reliable!
This has been a go-to hotel for me for at least a decade. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the location is great for sightseeing and access to public transit, and the street is quieter than most in this neighborhood.

My go-to Istanbul hotel
The location of this hotel is perfect for access to the old city and transportation. The street is quiet and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are modest, but clean and comfortable. Price point is excellent. I've been staying here for 10 years and never regret my choice!

The hotel was perfect for me and my girlfriend. The hotel staffs were very welcoming and helpful. They helped us out with getting the taxi booked to the airport and the taxi arrived on time and no issues at all. We enjoyed the breakfasts in the hotel. It is the perfect location to several sights and public transportation. There are also loads of restaurants and shops in the area.

This hotel is within walking distance (or a one stop on the tram if you don’t wish to walk up the hill) to all of the major attractions in the Old City of Istanbul. Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. It is also close to the harbour and spice bazaar. Surrounded by restaurants and bars, for the money it’s great value

Excellent and friendly service both at the reception and by housekeeping.
Our room was rather simple, however, had everything that you need. As everywhere in this part of the city, I would recommend to bring along earplugs, as the city is loud at night and the windows don’t much help.
Would definitely recommend also for a great location!

Zeynep and her staff made this a wonderful first experience in Istanbul. Everyone is very helpful. The hotel is not fancy, but the room has wood floors and it is very clean. The breakfast every morning had a variety of delicious options. The location itself has lots of restaurants and the train station, metro, street car and ferry are all close by to explore the city. I highly recommend this hotel.
