    Labels on the food at breakfast would have been helpful.

    The location is superb. So close to all of the major sights. Quiet neighborhood - VERY quiet. Comfortable room. The rooftop restaurant is open for breakfast but they leave it unlocked so you can visit the terraces at any time. The views are incredible! I won’t look anywhere else when I return to Istanbul - the hotel was that good.

    I really can’t think of anything. The hotel offers great accommodations for the price.

    Very nice room, more like a suite, comfortable beds, modern bathroom, and lovely roof top terrace for breakfast with a lovely view. The owner and his staff went out of their way to be very welcoming and were invaluable in helping us find outstanding restaurants within walking distance. I am returning to Istanbul after my visit to Kalkan and am staying at the same hotel—I would not stay anywhere else. It was great!

    Hotel staff were amazing 😻 they helped us with everything we needed, to book a restaurant for us and even found for us good taxi when our transfer (which we booked with another company) didn’t come. Everyone was very friendly and the cook taught us a few words in Turkish. We are very grateful for their hospitality. Hotel is in perfect area, everything is very close. The furniture and repairs seem to have been done recently, so our stay was very comfortable and beautiful. We had room with balcony and the view was amazing 😻 Totally will come back to this hotel if we are in Istanbul ❤️

The owner of the hotel is very lucky to have him! Apart from this, sea view room is nice, bigger than other rooms in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is also good with a a variety of dishes and fresh fruits.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable hotel in downtown Istanbul, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The hotel's location in downtown Istanbul is fantastic, providing easy access to key attractions and the vibrant energy of the city. However, what truly sets this establishment apart is the mesmerizing sea view that it offers. Our room, with its large windows, provided a panoramic spectacle of the Marmara Sea that left us in awe. The real gem of our stay was the terrace with a 180-degree view of Istanbul. It was an absolute delight to enjoy breakfast with such a breathtaking backdrop. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. The level of service provided by the hotel staff was beyond exemplary. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. It felt as though we were staying with friends who were genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. It was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining high standards. In conclusion, if you're looking for a hotel that is budget friendly and has breathtaking views and a welcoming atmosphere in downtown Istanbul, look no further.

    The glass covering the bedside tables posed a safety concern for children, and the nighttime lighting was too bright and disruptive for others when using the bathroom.

    The room was not only comfortable but also well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay. Moreover, the hotel's prime location was a significant highlight, as it was incredibly convenient for exploring iconic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia. One of the most memorable experiences was the breakfast served on the terrace, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and the Blue Mosque. It was a true feast for the senses. The chef's culinary skills were truly exceptional, as they crafted a breakfast that felt more like a lavish lunch, impressing me with their creativity and attention to detail. The staff, including the chef, were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home during my stay. Overall, I can confidently say that this hotel provided an outstanding experience that left me with fond memories and a desire to return in the future.

    The good thing is it's around the corner from Istanbul's top attractions Sultan Ahmed & Ayasofia mosque. At the same time you're in one of Istanbul's most touristic areas. We travelled in December (low season) and for us it was perfect. I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, the number of days you're staying and what your priorities are.

    If I go back to Istanbul, this is the hotel I will most probably go back to. Wel located, behind Sultan Ahmed mosque, about 700m from tram line 1. Small, quiet and pleasant hotel. Clean, Nice staff. Breakfast room on the 6th floor with views on Sultan Ahmed and the sea.

    The breakfast was phenomenal! There are two wonderful Turkish ladies that make a delicious spread every morning of savory and sweet options. The dining area is located on a quaint rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking views of the Old city. The hotel itself is located in one of the best quiet and peaceful neighborhoods. Both serious tourists and more relaxed adventure seekers can enjoy the 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and the Hagya Sophia.
