Staff were helpful, location was close to Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque, just know it’s a pretty steep up hill climb, so be prepared. Breakfast was good, rooms were comfortable, the hotel looks old, but I think it’s part of its charm.

Overall I would rate the hotel as a 3 star not a 4 star hotel. It was very convenient to Istanbul attractions. We walked to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia Mosque in a 15 minute uphill walk. It was entirely safe except for the Turkish rug salesmen around the mosques. The calls for prayer were loud, but this is all over the city. We also walked to the Basilica cistern, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and Galata Bridge and Tower on easy walks. I feel that the hotels location is its biggest asset. There are a large number of restaurants and nightlife immediately adjacent to the hotel. We had 2 free nights from Turkish Airlines and added 2 additional nights for a total of 4. The breakfast was good and we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant 2 nights. I would definitely stay there again. Istanbul is a lively vibrant city.

A boutique hotel. Room was on the small side but well furnished. Restaurant on the roof with an excellent view of the Bosphorus. Good way to start the day. Also nice to have a drink on terrace in the evening. Best thing is the location. About a 10-minute walk to Sultan Ahmet but the hotel itself isn't in a crowded neighborhood.
