    Perfect Spot in Istanbul

    The staff’s incredibly friendly—Mr. Sedat and Mr Sinan were super helpful. The location is perfect for hitting all the big sights, just a short stroll away. The breakfast was okay, just a bit basic for my taste, but overall, it was a chill stay.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy rooms
    rooftop garden
    bathroom design

    We had a wonderful time enjoying the delicious breakfast options and finding the rooms super cozy. The rooftop garden was a nice spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing, adding a bit of tranquility to our stay. Just a heads up, the bathroom design could use some tweaking to avoid splashing water everywhere, but it didn't ruin our experience! 😊

    unbeatable location
    cozy room
    limited bathroom space
    stylistic decor

    The best part was the unbeatable location—just steps from Hagia Sophia! Our room was cozy and stylishly decorated, but the bathroom lacked sufficient space. Overall, an amazing stay! 😊

    nice balcony
    helpful staff

    would have stayed for longer

    Location is a huge win, right near Hagia Sophia. My room had a nice balcony with a view, and it was cozy with a flat-screen TV and a comfy bed. Breakfast was a spread of pastries and made-to-order eggs. Afternoon tea was a treat! Staff were super helpful and even decorated for a birthday celebration. Very clean too.

    this little hotel is truly a hidden gem! we had a grand deluxe double room with a balcony, offering stunning views of the hagia sophia. it's super close to topkapi palace, archeological museum and gulhane park, all just a few blocks away. the staff, especially sedat, provided excellent service, checking in on us and giving great dining recommendations. breakfast was fantastic in a lovely courtyard.

    great location

    It was just a good match for a brief visit in Istanbul with good value for price. The staff was professional and very helpful. Also, be ready for early morning prayers from the nearby mosque.
