Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a standard double room that may feel a bit small, but it's still above average compared to other places. The property is a bit dated but sufficient for a short stay. The location is superb for exploring Sultanahmet, being near major attractions yet remarkably tranquil. The service is friendly and accommodating, though some minor issues were noted. The dining experience is average, but it does the job. Overall, it's a decent option for a few days.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, despite a few minor issues. The rooms were elegant and traditional, quite spacious with a double and a single bed. However, being located right next to the staircase, which is not separated from the reception, could be a drawback. The service was polite and welcoming, although they were a bit pushy in selling tours and transfers. The hotel's location was excellent, within walking distance of major tourist spots, but limited food options in the immediate area. The dining experience was basic, offering the same menu daily. Overall, a decent value for the money.
The hotel is located in a perfect spot, right at the center of Sultanahmet area, within walking distance of major attractions in Istanbul. The rooms are spacious, clean, and furnished in line with the hotel's ambiance, though the sound of the adhan from the loudspeaker can be heard. The service is exceptional, especially in assisting with transportation to the airport. The dining experience is simple yet delicious, with a request for more variety in food offerings. The location is one of the best features, with easy access to historical sites and bazaars. However, the quality of the Wi-Fi and AC could be better.
