It was a great experience from the beginning. Friendly staff that always smiled and ask if they could help. Set up transportation to the airport. Located within walking distances of multiple historical sites and restaurants all around the hotel. Would highly recommend staying here if you in Istanbul.

The hotel is in an amazing location just 20 seconds from the Blue Mosque. The location made it easy to get to all the attractions easily. The hotel is small and slightly tired but the rooms were very nice, clean and had air conditioning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they arranged transfers, checked train times, gave directions, organised trips etc, all with a smile. Overall the hotel and service was awesome.

Where can I start! I have visited Istanbul 4 times, this is by far the best hotel experience that I've had.
The location is perfect a stones drop away from The Blue Mosque and importantly no steep hill to walk.
The staff were extremely accommodating and empathetic. Made you feel like you've been there many times before.
Room cleaning was daily without fail, new towels, bottles water.
The breakfast was good with hot and cold food options.
Will of course be staying that for my next Istanbul trip.
