I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its incredible view of the Blue Mosque and Bosphorus from the cozy and clean rooms. The furnishings looked new, but there was a slight smell in the bathroom. The location was second to none, offering a lovely view and being very close to major attractions. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience was simple but served with a beautiful view. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel is conveniently close to many key attractions in Sultanahmet, but it doesn't give the safest feeling. The rooms are small and lack views but are kept clean with daily towel changes. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to assist with various needs. The location is outstanding, just steps from major sites and the Sultanahmet tram stop. The dining experience is basic but sufficient. Overall, a mixed experience with some great positives and a few drawbacks.

The hotel has a great location in the SultanAhmet area, close to all the major attractions and public transportation. The rooms, although a bit small, are a welcomed change from the usual old and stuffy rooms in the area. However, cleanliness could be improved. The service was friendly and polite, though a bit cold at times. The dining experience was average but sufficient. Overall, the hotel offers a convenient stay with some room for improvement.
