Great location, very friendly and welcoming staff, and an excellent breakfast. The elevator was a welcome addition and made getting luggage up to the room much easier. The airport transfer service was also very convenient and highly recommended. The room was clean overall, though a more thorough deep clean in some areas would make the stay even better.

This hotel is located in the historic center of Istanbul, the old town. Grand Bazaar with the column of Constantine (328 AD) are located in two minutes of walking. But the streets are super busy of course. It is a great cultural experience if you want an authentic atmosphere. If you wanted something quiet and peaceful the downtown area is not for you.
Our host Nadim was super helpful and professional. He arranged the room for us that we liked. Hospitality and the service was overall great. Just make sure to communicate with the staff and they'll try their best to give you a pleasant experience during your stay. The breakfast is a traditional Turkish one, served every morning.

As a solo traveller, I stayed in economy single room. Overall stay was ok. I liked the decor and rooms were clean. The only thing that let me down was the noise outside my room starting early morning (cleaning, hoover etc) until late afternoon and I could hear guests using the bathroom next door.

施設内は清潔でシャンプーなどのアメニティも充実しています。

歩いて20分ほどのところに、アヤソフィアやトプカプ宮殿があり、近くの駅からトラムにのっていくこともできます。
3分ほどの場所にスーパーもあり水などの食材や日用品が買えます。また、7分ほどの場所にアルコールが売っているお店もあるので、イスラム教以外の人も満足できます。
