The hotel is in a wonderful area of Sultanahmet, in a quiet cobble narrow street, perfect for tourists with all main spots nearby. The rooms are very small, lack wardrobe space, and have a cigarette smell. The staff, especially Ruhin, is incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests. The dining experience offers a good selection with a view of the beautiful Bosphorus. The location is excellent, with a peaceful garden and being just a short walk from top attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I booked directly through the hotel website was terrible - it was too small to even fit our trolleys, but surprisingly well-lit with a good view. The service was excellent, especially from the friendly and helpful staff who made our stay very pleasant. The location was perfect for exploring historical sites, near the Blue Mosque, Ayasofia, and Topkapi palace, but a bit noisy at night. The dining experience provided a terrific variety of selections for a Western 'Continental Breakfast'.

For my parents' wedding anniversary getaway, the hotel was a cozy choice with small but charming rooms. The courtyard was a nice bonus, typical for reasonably priced hotels in Istanbul. The old-style decor added a touch of nostalgia to our stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small and noisy due to inner yard sounds, but they were clean with fresh towels and sheets. The staff provided excellent service, being very helpful and friendly. The location was great for exploring Istanbul with many attractions within walking distance. The dining experience was nice but lacked variety. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money.

The hotel is in a charming location on a quiet cobble narrow street, perfect for evening relaxation with coffee or drinks. The rooms are cozy and well-priced, always equipped with tea and coffee facilities. The service, including the airport shuttle, was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The Sicilian cunzato bread in the dining experience was a pleasant touch, although the food quality was considered average. The seaview roof terrace offers a stunning view of the Blue Mosque. Overall, a nice place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.
