    The breakfast was delicious and sensational, with a variety of food. The location was magnificent and absolutely perfect, with a mall and a bazaar nearby.- It was located just a minute walk from a tram station, giving easy access to many Istanbul attractions.

    Booked a standard room with balcony that had more than enough space and a terrace. The location was very central, with a mosque and a basilica within walking distance.

    The staff and the location were very good! Totally close to the most famous mosques and the big bazaar. Tram was also directly in front of the door. The best food on the street was in our hotel! So many times we tried and got disappointed. Until we ate out at our own restaurant !!! Just a tip!

    The extra bed. It was not cozy. , The hotel is older, but very very clean !!!

    The queen room was recently refurbished with a simple table, providing an excellent view, and the hotel had a marvelous and lovely location close to major historical areas.

    Super located to visit all the tourist attractions. Very nice staff and clean rooms.

    The photos do not have much to do with reality. The equipment of the hotel is very old and in need of renovation. Very annoying is the shower, the whole time between hot and cold changes. The Wi-Fi is in the rooms not to use because it is much too weak (in the lobby is fine!).

    Penthouse is really not a description for the attic room. Don't let them change it. Loud and not very well insulated. Cold in winter, there is no heating in the bathroom. Would be made available later on request. Heating is only with the air conditioning. Right over the bed. LOUD!!! THERE ARE MANY AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS RIGHT OPPOSITE THE ROOM. RUN 24 HOURS A DAY.

    Could be great for celebrating birthday. The breakfast with great coffee was delicious and sensational, you’ll find what you need. The location was particularly good - ease of access to Basilica Cistern. There were a mosque and a basilica walking distance to the hotel.
