Only stayed here for the last night in Istanbul, hotel staff was very polite and courteous. Room was complimentary upgraded and late checkout was accepted. I left my car in the car park (which you have to pay 10 euros - for one night) until 5pm with no extra costs. Sultan Ahmet is 25 min walk, Sulaymaniyah is 15 min walk, and a lot of other bazaars are all 15-30 min walk.

Gulnora, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good hotel in a central yet peaceful location. Metro and bus connections are just a 4-minute walk away. The breakfast deserves special mention for its great variety and quality. A special thanks to Cigdem, the breakfast supervisor, whose warm hospitality and outstanding service made a lasting impression.
Mohammad Ali, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was quite small, the room next door was being used as a staff room so was noisy throughout the day and night while staff were coming and going. Breakfast was ok, limited other options around the hotel so was needed. Location wise, this was our first time in Istanbul and the hotel isn't as centrally located as you'd think, long walk to the touristy areas and restaurants.
