I had a lovely stay at the hotel! It's located in a fantastic area, really close to all the major attractions, which made exploring Istanbul super easy. The rooms were cute, clean, and regularly tidied, but they could use a coffee maker. The service was exceptional – the staff was friendly and offered great recommendations. However, the breakfast was a bit basic. Overall, it was a great value for the money.

I had a great stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated within sight of the Blue Mosque and just a short walk from other major sights like Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace.
