We received a really warm welcome to this lovely little hotel. We found the room to be clean, spacious and very comfortable. Staff at the hotel are really helpful, offered advice around day trips and even let us borrow their Istanbulkart! The breakfast room is lovely; great view of the city and really fresh and tasty food to start the day. The ladies who prepare the breakfast are nice, what they lack in English they make up for in hospitality. The hotel is in the old city which has nice restaurants about 5 mins walk away, the immediate area looks very 'lived in' but I like the charm that it offers and it felt very safe whilst walking around at night. I'd definitely stay here again.

Location fantastic for main tourist attractions. Overall good value for money. Lots of local eating places within walking distance. Hotel staff friendly, room adequate and very clean with comfortable bed. Breakfast adequate so value for money. However, room 503 had an issue with hot water in the shower, in the mornings when complained was informed it was a technical issue so had to wait over an hour to have a shower in the mornings.

The balcony door was very loud, window was broken. Room was small, only one copy of key and no way to lock from inside without key. No sausage or meats for breakfast, could have been better.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 5 days. Just as the name states it's located in the old city and within walking distance to everything (shopping centers, restaurants, tramway, etc.). Our room and bathroom were small but the service was excellent. The hotel is not fancy or grand, but it's a good quality/price for the location. Also, the manager Ömer made up for anything the hotel could lack. I often travel and his client service skills are really beyond anything I've seen before; he's usually not there at nights but he stayed back the night before our checkout to say goodbye to us. Breakfast was included in our stay, there weren't many options but the kitchen staff prepared whatever local dish we order in the morning, portions were enough and the food was good too.
Know before you go: Bring your own toileteries and towel (I didn't like what was provided but I'm a very picky person); don't hesitate to ask for additional blankets (the one in our room was thin and I'm often chilly) or anything you need the staff is very helpful. Also, the hotel offers tours through different agencies, we did the \"luxury dinner on the boat tour\" for $50 but it had nothing luxurious and the food was cold and bland; the other tour we went on was very interesting it was €90 ($104 usd) and included visits to the most famous touristic attractions in instanbul, with 3 hours boat ride on the bosphorus and a delicious lunch on the boat (this one was sooo worth it).
Overall, I liked my stay there!

Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a nice touch. Great way to gather your thoughts before a day of exploring. Hotel within easy reach of public transport. Grand Bazzar well within walking distance...

My wife, our two children, and I stayed here for a week, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and our room was spotless throughout our stay. We appreciated having hot water available 24/7, which made our stay even more comfortable.

The complimentary breakfast was absolutely delicious, offering a great start to our mornings. The property is in a fantastic location, conveniently close to all the major tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the area.

Thank you for being such a wonderful host—we truly enjoyed our time here. Much love, and God bless!

Not for single ladies.

Not for single ladies.
The young manager feels free to make sexual advances and the other receptionist knows. Sickening.
Great service provided to my dad.
They made sure he kept a family room for the price of a small one. Astounding lip service paid to my old man.
Kind and helpful staff overall.
One room I got had a noisy water system in the wall it seems: very loud noise in the morning. Another one had a water temperature hard to adjust but manageable.
Great location, view, cheap and practical if you have good legs to walk the short but steep distance to the grand bazaar and very useful tramline 1.

We went with my family (2 adults, 2kids). Excellent experience! The property manager Ömer was fantastic and really helped us feel at ease and safe. Rooms were very nice, clean and spacious. Lots of restaurants at a walkable distance. Very close to the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia.

Overall, the service was good, you get what you pay for. However, at the beginning there was some poor organization as we were sent to another hotel for the first night, which should not have happened.

Experience authentique dans un petit hôtel

Bravo à toute l'équipe pour son accueil souriant et son souci de satisfaire le client.
La salle de bain est impeccable, la literie aussi et le calme est total. Une mention spéciale pour la terrasse où est servi le petit-déjeuner. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix.
