Hotel with very friendly staff next to Hagia Sofia. The breakfast is superb. And it is close to the main attractions. The problems are: 1. Very noisy room next to a busy street, and 2. There is a big slope in front of the hotel without car access. You have to walk about 500 meters in order to take a cab.

The location and service are 1st rate. You will not find a better location or a nice group of people. If you are going to Istanbul, this is just steps away from every major site that Istanbul has to offer.

Great location. Steps from all the important sites and close to transportation. The hôtel looks great from the outside but a bit outdated and tired in the inside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I asked the cleaning ladies several times for face towels, i was told they had but never délivered them. I felt they were a bit clueless in reception and restaurant. Good hôtel over all.

Hotel was in a great location right by the main attractions in Old Town. Rooms were nice but the bathroom door was sheer and so the light poured into the entire room. And the shower door would not close fully so water got everywhere. Since taxis can’t come down direct to the hotel, it was somewhat confusing for some drivers, but a quick 3 minute walk to another stop was no issue. Staff was extremely attentive though and very helpful.
