    The owners go above and beyond to make this place feel like home . Complimentary drinks and snacks on arrival. Invite to a fabulous fish dinner with the family . Breakfast packed for us as we were leaving early. We did not even request this . Rooms cleaned daily , fabulous view of ocean from our room and from the deck . Perfect location 80 steps away from Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace.

    The atmosphere of the hotel is really warm. I was travelling with my son, were given two separate beds, checked in earlier. While waiting for the check - in were given water and waited in the inner yard which is really nice. In the same yard we had breakfast (The breakfast has everything you might want, tea, coffee, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, some home made pastry, fruit, cereals, and many others). We were even offered real Turkish coffee 😊I liked the terrace on the roof too, with nice view. The staff are very warm, we were feeling comfortable all the time. The way from the hotel to the airport too 1.5 hours by tram (the stop is 250 metres) and metro, all connections are fast and easy. Definitely recommend you.

    I liked everything.

    An absolutely unique facility. In the heart of the city. We had a terrace with a view of the most important monuments. The terrace is vast and is actually an extra room. Delicious breakfasts. Great Turkish coffee. But the biggest advantage of the place are the owners. Who are just wonderful people. Help, support, friendship, you can count on all this.

    If anything, maybe a check out time around 12 noon or 1 pm but the host were kind enough to keep our bags for us

    The location is very very good. The host excellent. Breakfast was not extensive but sufficient... like how we would have at home... there is a terrace on the rooftop that has a beautiful view ... breathtaking. The Turkish coffee served daily was one of the best I have tasted

    We had the economy room, which was on the street so a little noisy. We expected this but it’s something to be aware of when booking if you’re a light sleeper.

    The hosts were so kind and welcoming. The breakfast was probably the best we’ve ever had and came complete with a Turkish coffee! Great location with walking distance to tourist attractions and public transport.

    We had the cheapest room option, so we got what we paid for. Room & bathroom very small & rather noisy being right next to Reception, with guests coming & going during the night.

    This small, family run hotel is located 5 mins walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque & Basilica Cistern. It’s also an easy walk to the tram for heading further afield. There are also dozens of restaurants within an easy stroll. The owners are super friendly & helpful & are genuinely invested in ensuring you have an amazing time in Istanbul.
