Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The traditional style was beautiful, but there were some areas that could be improved like adding more amenities in the rooms. Overall, it was pretty good without being exceptional.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were always clean, refreshed, and spacious with a stunning terrace view where I enjoyed relaxing evenings with a cup of tea. It's located incredibly close to the main attractions in the old city and even arranged a 4:45 am airport pick-up for me. The experience was truly worth every penny.
The hotel is a gem with amazing service, clean and cozy rooms that make you feel at home, and a wonderful location close to Istanbul Old City attractions. The dining experience, while basic, still gets the job done. A fantastic choice for a comfortable stay in old Istanbul.
The hotel is situated in a prime location near the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Topkapi, convenient for exploring Istanbul's attractions. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and well-decorated, although some dripping was noticeable during rainy days. The service provided, from the managers to the bellboys, was exceptionally helpful and kind. The dining options offered delicious dishes with good variety, though some may find it lacking for extended stays. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable and pleasant stay in Sultanahmet.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern and very comfortable, and the manager, ASLAN, was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional. However, the room was not as clean as I would have liked it to be. The location was fantastic, with easy access to major attractions and plenty of dining options. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff, especially the outstanding Aslan. The dining experience was good but lacked some warm meal options. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel. The rooms were small for the price but always clean and refreshed, and the highlight was the breathtaking terrace view where I loved spending late nights sipping tea. The powerful shower and comfy bed made it a great experience for me though cleanliness could be better.
