For the price this hotel is very well located to the main sights and tram stops. Despite being located in a very busy area, the hotel itself is on a little quiet road and it was peaceful all night.

Inexpensive hotel right down the street from the Hagie Sophia. Hotel was clean, breakfast was good, staff was very friendly. At that price point I was expecting less, so I was very happy with this hotel. Would stay here again.

Small boutique hotel strategically located near the most famous attractions and walkable distance from most places.
Good breakfast on a nice terrace with nice views.
Couple of things to improve: air con wasn’t efficient and hot water at busy periods was like dripping our (lack of pressure, a pump should be installed).
Other than that, free coffee and biscuits offered between 5-7pm
Would definitely recommend

Fantastic location for main attractions, Less than ten minutes from blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Very clean, helpful and courteous staff. Good variety at breakfast, tea, coffee, hot and cold buffet style.
Nice touch with tea, coffee between 5 and 7 every day. Can see Hagia Sophia from breakfast area which is on roof. Within five min walk of two tram station s Gulhane and Sultanahmet. Room service everyday and tea coffee making facility in room. Would definitely return.

Excellent budget option near all the sights in Sultanahmet. Very friendly staff, nice clean room, comfortable bed, and great breakfast with a view. They also stored our luggage for us before and after we checked out so we could explore town. I would stay here again.
