Lovely room in a good location within walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern.
Breakfast was good except not being cat lovers we weren't keen on the resident cat although the cats are an issue across Istanbul.

The hotel was very small and personal. The staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and all in all we had a great stay. Really recommend this hotel which is also very good value and in a great location for seeing the main tourist attractions.

The Hotel has an excellent location for visiting some of the main sights and although the rooms are somewhat small the hotel overall is very charming. The staff, especially Medina could not have been more helpful - providing local suggestions and helping reserve outings. The breakfast was very tasty.

This hotel was the absolute BEST! It was so nice and cozy and the staff were amazing. They went out of their way to help me plan what to do each day and they were so concerned with my happiness. If you are considering this hotel--DO IT. It's the perfect boutique hotel to stay in. Close to everything, safe and wonderful. I will absolutely stay there again. The breakfast with brewed coffee was the cherry on top. I loved my room. I loved the location. And mostly I loved the staff. Probably my favorite hotel experience in my travel in years. Highly, highly recommend! So grateful to their team who made my stay perfect!

The place is well located, close to all important places downtown. Our room faced the main street and street noise can be an issue. There are other rooms that surely don’t have that issue. Well decorated place and clean. In spite of the noise, would definitely recommend.

The hotel is situated in a tiny alley way and in this part of town most of the boutique hotels are like this. It was very conveniently located to all the major historical and food sites so we walked the 4 days we stayed in Istanbul. All the hotel staff were very friendly & knowledgeable about the area and were very helpful in arranging whatever accommodation we needed. We would definitely recommend this hotel to all our friends & family.

Charming hotel in old town

Comfortable, clean room, excellent breakfast and helpful staff, we very much enjoyed our stay. Our 6’ 1” teen son slept in the same room on the twin pull out bed. He said it was comfortable, no complaints. Location is perfect for walking to many of the old town sites in Istanbul. Fun detail, the main floor has plexiglass in spots to see Roman ruins under the current hotel.

Great hotel. A real boutique hotel with lovely staff. The rooms are pretty and well appointed. The beds are very comfortable. The smaller rooms at the back are quieter than the larger ones at the front. The breakfasts are delicious (ask for menemen). It's really close to the Blue mosque and Agia Sofia.

We loved this place. Central historic district. Just be aware, everything you want to get to is uphill. And I mean STEEP.
Privacy in bathroom is a little iffy because of frosted glass door that doesn’t go to either floor. But we stayed for two nights, went on a cruise and booked it again for two nights after cruise.

This delightful small hotel has been newly renovated and it is spotless and comfortable. We ate on the breakfast patio which is lovely. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful; they made me feel at home. The breakfast was Turkish style and was delicious and the location was perfect for seeing all the sights. it is about a 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia. Great hotel, highly recommended!

This hotel was a last minute booking to save us from a terrible hotel we had found ourselves in in Istanbul, and from the moment we were greeted by the manager Chisam, we knew that things would be better. The staff all around cannot be praised enough -- they went out of their way to make our experience as positive as possible, including packing breakfasts for our 4:30 AM departure. The building itself is really lovely, a perfect combination of old charm (also literally old, you can see ruins through glass panels in the dining area) and new amenities (the shower was perfect). A caveat that the bathroom in the family suite at least was essentially a frosted glass cubicle -- with no door on the actual toilet area. If your family is not particularly close, it's less than ideal. Also a heads up that there were roosters nearby -- in the grand scheme of noise in Istanbul, it was a quieter spot, but you should still expect plenty of activity from the street at all hours. To end on a final positive, the breakfast was perfect. Truly one of our better meals on the trip. I would certainly stay here again.

Hotel Gem - Great Manager

What a gem! This quaint hotel is charming with a fantastic design, great service, and a personal touch. I absolutely loved the Turkish breakfast and the customer care from the manager. I also loved the hotel design amd impeccable cleanliness. While the rooms are small (to maintain the original home design and the historical integrity of the property), it doesnt detract from the quality of the stay. I would stay here again amd again. I absolutely loved my stay. And you can walk to key tourist attractions. I am smitten and they will aee me again.

We had an amazing stay. The hotel has been beautifully restored by the owner whom we met - it is a family run hotel and the staff are all welcoming, helpful and lovely. They resolved an issue that I had with my booking very speedily. Very well situated 5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and very quiet in the rooms on the courtyard side where we were.

Das Zimmer war sehr schön, aber insgesamt etwas klein. Wir hatten unser Zimmer zum Hinterhof. Ab 7.30 Uhr wird dort bei schönem Wetter gefrühstückt, dann ist es vorbei mit der Nachtruhe. Das historische Ambiente der Altstadt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit. Insgesamt handelt es sich um eine ruhige Lage.
