We really liked this hotel. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of tasty options, and the service was outstanding. Staff were friendly, helpful, and made the stay truly enjoyable.
It was very close to the attractions we came to visit. Highly recommend!

room has been renovated recently. I could hear easily people talking in the next room. Amazing rooftop. Has an elevator (rare in that area). Great location.

Wow! What a great find! I only booked this on the first night of my stay and was delighted. The location is amazing - I could see Sultanahmet square and both Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosques from my room. But going up to the roof terrace was breathtaking- views across the river and 360 across the city and especially the mosques… so beautiful.
The staff were lovely. And the price was great. I will definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

This is a solid 3 star hotel. The room was recently remodeled and clean. The walls are thin, can hear traffic and other guests. There is only shampoo in the shower, no soap or conditioner. Free large bottle of water. If you are expecting a 4 or 5 star hotel, this isn't for you. We were very happy for a 3 star hotel that was clean and a 3-15 minute walk to a lot of sites. The staff was very friendly.

Perfect location. Close to Hagai Sophia & Blue Mosque. Good service from staff. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed. Only problem is that the bath tub is quite high and hard to get out of. I highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent stay, convenient location walkable to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Arasta Bazaar and lots of shops/restaurants. Grand Bazaar was 16 mins walk away. We would explore the city and come back in the afternoon to rest as it was so nearby. Great views from the breakfast terrace and staff very friendly. Only downsides were it was a bit noisy from the street outside and the prayer calls from the mosques, breakfast was same everyday and not enough cupboard space in the room. But I would happily stay again for the location and convenience

No way a 4 star hotel.

First issue i faced was that the hotel told me on arrival that the breakfast was not included. It took me a while to resolve the issue after showing the receipt i had. Small thing, but appreciate if they put a tooothpaste. Also, the most annoying thing was that the taxis were not allowed to enter the street where the hotel is. So had to drag all my bags uphill to the hotel. Finally, all the tours arranged by the hotel were very poor. Guide can hardly speak English.

Staff at the main desk were very helpful, booked a lot of tours for me, helped me with navigating around the area. Cleaners also did a great job everyday. Hotel is placed in the perfect location with great views of Hagia Sohia and the blue mosque, also have great views of the sea from the restaurant on the 6th floor. Overall my stay the the hotel for 5 nights was absolutely amazing.

Room not as pictured

The rooms and bathroom were not what the picture is shown here. The shower had a broken handle and very very small shower space. We chose this hotel because it had an elevator however the room we got did not have an elevator so our 2 elderly persons in our group struggled to go up and down everyday. If you are a light sleeper this hotel is not for you as the daily prayers at night is LOUD. Breakfast was good. Rooftop view is beautiful. Did not like the receptionist guy asking where we are originally from and pushing us tour packages. The lady receptionist is very nice and kind.

Hotel was very good, the staff very friendly and helpful going above and beyond - needed a bigger baby cot due to reasons stated later and a larger baby cot was given 👍 warming up baby food and providing hot milk upon request 👍 proving details on excursions 👍 ensuring we had everything we need by asking us upon arrival👍 the view during breakfast is simply amazing🇹🇷☀️👍

However the hotel itself did have a few flaws, one being the hotel arm chair was broken and at first a small baby cot was given which was severely broken (had screws and nuts missing/loose), building works on our side of the hotel which meant we had to close our windows and drill noises came through which affected baby sleeping, this also was a privacy issue as there were men on the scaffolding right outside our window…

Overall a very good hotel, the staff took care of myself and my little family which was most important and most of the negative stuff we’re out of anyone’s control, I recommend for sure if you are looking for somewhere near the main square and near both iconic mosques!

7/10!!

Great Hotel Near Blue Mosque

Excellent all the way around. Great location just minutes away from the Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia in a safe & clean tourist district where most are fluent in English. Loys of shops & restaurants. Nice room, clean, great staff - helpful & friendly, amazing breakfast view & food. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent break for disabled lady in the old city

My wife and I stayed in a disabled room in the hotel. The ramp from the car park was a bit of a challenge and the lift to the breakfast area was too small for a mobility scooter but the staff were all amazingly helpful and when the mobility scooter broke down, they fixed it. Fantastic.
The location for all the old city sites is brilliant, just a short walk to everything. If you want to go further, the tram is not far away.
The view from the breakfast area is brilliant - mosques, sea, sunshine. The same area is empty during the day for a quiet chill-out with a stunning view. At night it becomes a Vietnamese restaurant - top notch too.
A quick shout-out to the hotel manager and to Tara (PR) for their exceptional service, but a big thank you to everyone there.

Excellent customer service and very friendly front desk. We had some issues with our booked room but they did everything possible to resolve those issues and provided us with a good room option. Also, they were very helpful with advice and tour suggestions. And they let us check in earlier.

However, there are some cons:
- Noise isolation is very poor.
- Breakfast is very average.
- Rooms on the top floor are very old.
These cons are only hotel-related issues and are not related to customer service at all. As I stated above, front desk employees were very professional, helpful, and friendly.

Zona perfecta. Personal muy agradable. Habitación limpia. Si que es cierto que al pagar una special class vista a la calle pensé que era con vistas a las mezquitas y no, pero bueno, tenia vistas al Bósforo qué también son preciosas. Relación calidad-precio muy buena.
Lo malo : el desayuno. Sinceramente para ser un desayuno buffet era muy escaso y pasado ( seco ) Abrian a las 8am y no tenian ni si quiera pan, fruta etc… cuando nos ibamos venian con el pan o con la fruta… fatal. mucho dulce repetitivo y seco, sin cafe, sin leche, lechuga seca, 4 tomates cherry y queso blanco. Vamos, que no desayuné ningún dia. Sale mas barato desayunar por la calle o en otro lugar.

El resto muy bien. Te guardan las maletas sin problema y además tienen bascula para pesar maletas por si te pasa como a mi, que me hinché a comprar cosas y tuve que comprarme otra maleta para poderla facturar 😅.

Hotel war ok, Parkplatz zwar hinterm Hotel, aber dauerte ca. 30 min bis wir da waren. 25 Euro für 40 Stunden entsprach nicht den Angaben des Hotels. Dazu 3% Gebühr bei Kreditkartenzahlung und ein mieses Frühstück. Preis Leistung passten aus unserer Sicht nicht. Lage ist super.
