    The location was excellent for us. We really enjoyed the breakfast each morning. It gave us some great time to chat with our friends who were also staying there. The view from our superior room was beautiful out over the city to the Sea.

    The WiFi was horrible- useless is a better word. I ended up turning it off and using my cell data. The air conditioner was not up to the task. It only got up to 28C while we were there and with the unit set to 18C the whole time, it would barely get it down to 24C or so in the room by morning. I told the owner who checked on it and said that it was working fine. It was hard to get to sleep with it that hot in the room early in the evening. It also made a loud gurgling noise every 5-10 minutes.

    The location can't be beat. Just steps away from major attractions, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, etc. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Having a full breakfast included was also nice.

    There was some noise from inside the guest house, plumbing and other guests but nothing too bad. We slept great.

    The location was perfect for visiting Sultanahmet and good connections to elsewhere but if you're staying out late you might need to get a taxi, we used Uber from Taksim area, €5 and no problems. The staff were all friendly and helped with anything we needed. Breakfast was very good. Out room was large and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

    The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Ceiling was low in the top floor room with a balcony. Room was a bit noisy due to people walk up to the roof patio late at night and early morning. The stairs are in the ceiling of the bathroom

    The hosts/owners were wonderful. So helpful and friendly. Breakfast was amazing and the location was perfect.

    Great hotel. Kind, caring and friendly hosts. Good cleaning. Good breakfast that will save you a lot of time and money (especially with the new prices in Istanbul). The location is great, everything is nearby. There is a roof terrace. Due to carelessness, the hotel property was slightly damaged by us. The owners forgave us for this and even refused to take money from us. Thank you. I hope I'll be back again.

    Not aplicabile!

    The hotel is very close to Hagia Sophia which is a big plus. The hotel is clean, the towels are changed daily, there is an elevator to the upper floors, intimate, everything with great taste. Public parking in front to hotel and at 200m from the hotel. But the biggest gain is the family that owns this hotel, they are completely and utterly delightful people, with whom I resonated from the beginning. They are very attentive to the wishes of tourists, always present at the location. Delicious breakfast, homemade cakes and Turkish coffee served in a dreamy setting with old music at the pick-up... ❤️ We can't imagine staying anywhere else the next time we visit Istanbul. Thank you Yesim and Ahmed for everything!

    Nothing negative at all.

    In such a competitive market the hosts stand above their competitors. They're a family run guest house and make you feel part of their family. So genuine and warm and cannot do enough for you. They have excellent knowledge of the area and beyond as some hotel chains do not and just give you a leaflet to follow. I cannot fault the hosts or their guesthouse as we truly enjoyed our time there and was made even more memorable by the beautiful couple who own it. Thank you and cannot wait to go back there 🙌

    We had the budget room at the front, which was very noisy. The hosts try to advise people, but we missed the warning.

    Very hospitable and friendly hosts; comfortable bed with best ever pillows; nice big bathroom towels. Wonderful breakfast in attractive room which also had an outdoor area. We particularly liked the pastries and the offer of Turkish coffee every morning (filter coffee also provided).
