It made our trip to Istanbul a very good experience. The place was quirky and immaculately clean, it had great location and people. Very clean beds, a laptop-size safe, an iron and TV were a nice touch.

Everything was good, and it had good wi-fi. We liked sitting in the restaurant on an enclosed garden off the dining room. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the view on Sea of Marmara was great!

    Great hospitality, good food, and very helpful staff. Special mention to Mutlu, the warm and caring host, who arranged our airport pickup and suggested a great cruise and sightseeing itinerary. Truly world-class hospitality.

    Felt very homey, no complaints.

    This hotel is perfectly located, just a stone's throw away from the Blue Mosque and other main attractions. The room was cozy and the beds were really comfortable. The staff was friendly and always available to assist us with any requests. The breakfast was ample and served in a beautiful enclosed garden. The view from our balcony was breathtaking, overlooking the sea of Marmara. We also appreciated the complimentary slippers and water provided in the room. It truly felt like a home away from home.

    The WiFi connection was a bit slow at times.

    The best aspects of my easter stay were the breathtaking view and the friendly staff. The hotel had a prime location near major attractions, making it convenient for exploring the city. Plus, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, offering an early check-in, delightful breakfasts, and even upgrading our room for free. The stunning view of the sea from the higher room was absolutely amazing and added an extra touch of luxury to our experience.

    One of the worst aspects of our stay was the presence of smoking guests on the balcony. As a non-smoker, it was unpleasant to have cigarette smoke enter our room when the neighbors would smoke.

    The room size was decent and could comfortably accommodate a family. The beds were comfortable, which was great for my bad back. The complimentary slippers and water were a nice touch. The hotel staff were always available and helpful, providing advice on tours and how to get around. I also enjoyed the short walk to the famous attractions in the area.

    The breakfast options became repetitive after a few days, and I would have appreciated more variety, such as Turkish sweets. Additionally, the room could have been slightly larger, as it felt a bit cramped for a family of four grown-ups.

    The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was unbeatable, close to historic sights but on a quiet street with waterfront views. The breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely garden area.
