Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was extremely clean and well-maintained, and the staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. They were even thoughtful enough to help carry my belongings to the room, which I really appreciated. The location is excellent, ideally situated in the Sultanahmet area with easy access to many of Istanbul’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The room itself was comfortable and clean, and the air conditioning worked well. My room also had a lovely balcony with a beautiful city view, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

Great location in very close proximity to Sultanahmet & Hagia Sophia Mosque. Very clean. Worth noting there is no restaurant so breakfast is not provided. I thought breakfast was included when booked but there are good food options in nearby.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

It was okay

The staff was friendly and very helpful. This hotel is a little older, needs a little updating paint and furniture. Could be a little cleaner, and there were four to five insects in my room. Oh and part of my shower door was missing.

I liked the area around the property. The service was not bad, and owners were good. Internet was so slow and bad, all the time I was using my data plan. The value of the money is more way high for this property, furniture is so old and wardrobe was broken, and it was noisy.
