This is a great place to stay in Istanbul. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good variety and was tasty. The location is superb close to all of the major sites in Sultanhamet. The only weakness was that the Wi-Fi blocked my VPN but that is typical of many places in Turkey due to the authoritarian government. Overall I had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Staff was amazing specially Mr. Mustafa who greeted us at the reception and he was very humble and helpful person and helped us in all possible ways. Air conditioning was a little low that kept us a bit hot through night but we didn’t complain so can’t blame the hotel. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was very good and they tried different dishes every day. I would recommend this place to stay. Very close to all attractions. We literally took few minutes of walk to blue mosque, Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia. Tons of shops and restaurants close by.
