The hotel is small, located right in the very center of Istanbul, you can't think of a more central one, breakfast was included in the small price for this hotel, plus you can enjoy the beautiful view at breakfast. The room was small, with a view from one window to another, but it didn't matter to us, the main thing was that everything was clean and we were provided with everything we needed, since we weren't coming to another city to spend days in a hotel. There was a small buffet for breakfast. In the photo, I posted a view that you can enjoy at breakfast and a small lobby of the hotel.
We stayed here for the second time ! The breakfast is amazing, delicious, and you'll be full before lunch. The mattresses are comfortable, the bed is clean, and the towels are clean. There is a police post next to the hotel (you will be 100% safe) sound insulation of rooms facing the courtyard. There is water heating in winter, thank God it's not electric.
I liked the hotel, it is located in the center of Istanbul, within walking distance of almost all the sights of old Istanbul, the breakfasts are very tasty, the room is also good, I recommend 👍
Excellent location 👍 The hotel is located right on Sultanahmet Square. Beautiful view of the Blue Mosque from the terrace. The rooms are very small, but everything is clean and tidy.
The hotel is within walking distance of all the attractions. There is a hopon Hopof sightseeing bus stop nearby. There are many power points. The hotel has a wonderful restaurant. The spice market is close by - the Egyptian market. The Grand Bazaar is nearby. Lots of cats! The Bosphorus. Beautiful view from the roof of the hotel! Clear. Excellent breakfast with national dishes. Everything is wonderful! The advantage was the warm weather for the New Year.
+The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul, opposite the Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet Square, near the tram stop, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, lots of shops and cafes.
+Friendly hotel staff, the opportunity to purchase excursions at the reception
+Good view of Sultanahmet from the window of the breakfast room
- The rooms are very small, almost all of them are like this in the center. It is better to choose a standard room..
-Early in the morning (at 4-5 a.m.), a loud azan from the mosque wakes up
The hotel is suitable for travelers on short tours of 2-3 nights, and who are in Istanbul for the first time.
We had a rest in May 2024. The hotel has an extremely convenient location, a view of the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace 5-10 minutes on foot, the Bosphorus down the hill along the streets. There is a tram stop nearby, they bought a transport card in a shop next to the stop, they moved everywhere on it. The breakfasts are good. Everything is clean, cozy, atmospheric. The rooms are tiny, as is the elevator) We booked an improved standard room. The truth smelled a little like sewage, they opened the window, it was normal. The reception is friendly, they don't speak Russian. The girl from Kazakhstan is in the kitchen, speaks well, escorted us just from the hotel.
Among the advantages: location, view from the roof, cool elevator, delicious breakfast, good cleaning, pleasant staff
Of the cons: smudges on the ceiling, a cockroach in the bathroom, only two towels
Excellent location of the hotel, in the heart of Sultanahmet. The rooms require renovation, but for 2-3 nights in Istanbul it is quite suitable. The breakfast is normal, you will not stay hungry, delicious coffee and a wonderful view of the Blue Mosque as a bonus) there is wi-fi, very helpful staff, we really liked everything.
A decent option for your money. Located in the heart of the historical part of Istanbul, you have breakfast overlooking the Blue Mosque. The staff is not intrusive, speaks English.
Location: Breakfast with a view of Sultan Ahmed. The rooms are small, but you can't live there, you can just spend the night. And there's everything you need for that. One more thing: the taxi won't come to the door. There are no vehicles there.

Very convenient location close to all the main sights of Istanbul and the view from the restaurant to the blue Mosque. The rest is complete trash. The bed is 20cm shorter than a person's height. The sink is covered in a web of cracks. The bathroom is washed with bleach - the stench is terrible. Kondey works very noisily. They're yelling in the street and you can hear everything. The closet is small, you can't put things out properly. At the same time, the rating of the hotel is 8.4. Do not be fooled!!!
Great place!
Very convenient location in the historical center of the city!
Walking distance to the most beautiful places of the city.
Excellent panoramic view of the Sultanahmet Mosque.
A good breakfast with a view of the sights will cheer you up in the morning.
A very peculiar, purely Turkish hotel. Tiny rooms, the smallest elevator I've seen. But! free access to the roof, with views of Sofia and Sultanahmet! The perfect location - everything is nearby! Good breakfasts. The hotel is mainly inhabited by Muslims-tourists from Turkey and the Middle East, Pakistanis.
A cozy hotel, but for singles or couples. It's just going to sleep over. Everything is clean and cozy inside. The rooms are just a little cramped. As well as the convenient location of the hotel, everything is within walking distance
We rested in Istanbul for 8 days from 07/14/2012 to 07/22/2012 and stayed at this hotel. On the plus side: the staff is very friendly, because we arrived at 7 a.m., we were immediately checked in (we had 2 rooms), the breakfast staff was also very pleasant. Also an excellent location, all the sights are nearby: the Blue Mosque, St. Sophia Cathedral, Grand Bazaar, lots of shops, Topcaps, etc. We ordered a transfer from the hotel, very quickly, arrived by a large car and took you to the airport, at an acceptable price (If you have more than 3 people, order a transfer, it will cost less than a taxi) That's all, unfortunately.
Of the cons: the photo of the room on the website is an expectation / reality, the room is dead and very dirty, as if it is not cleaned at all, decorative pillows and bedspread are unrealistically dirty in a pile of stains. The bed linen has never been changed in 8 days!!! We were constantly under-laying towels, then 2, then 3 (we lived in two). By the way, the beds are very small, with my height of 170, my legs were hanging down.
A huge disadvantage for girls is that there is no storage space at all, one tiny locker and that's it, nothing fit in there, so you have to store things in a suitcase.
It is also a very uncomfortable and small bathroom, not to turn around at all.
The view from the window is something!!! On the window of the next room, 50 centimeters from ours.
The accommodation included a buffet breakfast, very poor food, I was only pleased with the presence of a watermelon and a stunning view of the blue mosque from the terrace, the menu did not change at all for 8 days, I was very tired of the same thing.
I will note that when leaving the room, I usually leave a few dollars for the maid to tip for cleaning, but there was such a disgusting "cleaning" that I didn't even want to do it.
As a result, I can say that if you stay at this hotel for a couple of days, then this is a good option. And if for a long time, like us, then look for something better. I rate the hotel at 5/10, so far it does not pull for more.
Mixed impressions. We were together in April 2023 for 3 days. First of all, the disadvantages are super-compact room, micro cabinet, there is not even a chair. It is difficult for two adults to dress at the same time. The toilet is behind a sliding door, so I do not recommend it to romantically minded couples). Positive: the staff is polite, friendly, speaks English. There is a safe in the room, the plumbing is generally normal. And, of course, it's impossible to come up with a more central location, in my opinion. But maybe someone will be noisy. In general, for the purposes of "coming to Istanbul, dropping things off and spending the night" it is quite suitable.
A magnificent little hotel! Everything is very decent for a little money. The location is excellent, the view from the dining room window directly onto the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The staff is very polite. I recommend it.!
I also did not like the hotel ((Especially on the second night while I was sleeping after the tour, we went into the room and pulled dollars and several thousand Russian money out of the bag (((the rest deteriorated accordingly.I am attaching a photo with a sea view that I was promised(((
