"We stayed at this hotel in 2023 and had a much better experience than this time. During our recent 10-night stay, the overall cleanliness was disappointing. The floors were dirty and were not cleaned even once during our stay, and the rooms had noticeable stains. A lot seems to have changed since 2023, unfortunately not for the better. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the breakfast buffet manager was quite rude—not directly to us, but we overheard him speaking harshly, saying he “only has two hands” and showing attitude toward guests. The location is great, which is a big plus. Still, due to the cleanliness issues and overall decline in service, we would not choose to stay here again."

"I read in the previous article before booking the hotel that it was about a 13-minute walk from the Blue Mosque square, but the result is this: 13 minutes of walking spent climbing a very steep road until you're out of breath."

"Room in no view but clean "

"This was the best place we could have chosen for our trip. It was close to all of the sites and transportation and the staff was so helpful and always there for anything we need. The breakfast was always amazing and had a full spread of local foods to eat. We appreciated all of their attentiveness, showing us where things were on a map, giving us ideas on where to go and eat (we flew in and checked into the hotel at midnight and they gave us a good place to grab something to eat before we went to sleep). With this location being very central, it was nice to be able to pop back in after seeing a couple things and made it easy to head right back out without going too far. And the front desk staff was always ready with tea, coffee or water for when you were coming and going- which was perfect for one of the days it downpoured outside."

"Staff was helpful, but staff on the breakfast place and Sabrosa restaurant was Very slowly and didn’t casstomer focus."

"Very comfortable stau"

"We stayed in late January earlier this year and the hotel was just perfect. Located close to all the major sites, everything was in walking distance including a plethora of restaurants. The hotel itself was welcoming with complimentary treats in the room which was a pleasant surprise and overall staff were helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, offering a wide selection and staff were attentive including Rehmatullah who took his time every morning to check in with us, absolutely lovely gentleman. Can't fault our stay and am looking to book my second stay with them!"

"The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The location was very central and within walking distance to shops and restaurants and major sites like Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapı Palace, and Grand Bazaar. The breakfast buffet had a large selection of cold and hot options."

"Booked via Expedia, was looking for a hotel in historic Istanbul that had good reviews, this hotel certainly delivered. It's only 7mins walk to Sultanamet Square. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. Great breakfast too. I highly recommend this hotel. PS. here's also a really good cafe/restaurant directly opposite (Barbarosa), if like us you need food before exploring after arriving late afternoon."
