You must visit this hotel when in Istanbul. It has a great location, the breakfast is so varied and included in the price and the views from the terrace are beautiful. The receptionists are really helpful, kind and nice to speak to. They endured our stay was perfect. The lady that prepares breakfast is lovely too she will make you aware of all the breakfast options she makes and will always ask if you'd like an omelette. We will be coming back soon, thank you for everything!

Good- comfortable rooms, superb breakfast, nice terrace. Bad- we had some money taken from the room during cleaning time. The hotel refunded the money and apologized, which we appreciated, but still left a bad mark on our stay

Dear Roy,There is a safe box in the room. Our guests keep their money in it or take it with them. Leaving the money on the table means a tip for cleaner ladies in our business. After your claim, we gave this money back to you and we believed that we fixed the misunderstanding. We are little bit disappointed to read this comments which involves some accusacions.

The hotel has all comfort amenities like lift, large bedrooms, large bathroom, cleaning everyday, terrace overlook the sea, even my bed had sea view, staff were very helpful, cooperative, hotel location is just minutes away walking from main istanbul attractions like blue mosque, ayasofya, and many others, just only one thing was bit annoying is the cafe in front of the hotel held parties for wedding or other occasions in some weekends not always, and it last untill 12 am only, which is bit noisy, other than that all perfect, offcourse all these matches the affordable cost of the hotel night.

Great stay
Checked in at 2:30am without any problems, and was shown to my room (had booked a room for the previous day so I would be able to check on straight away). Very nice room with lots of space, fridge, A/C, great wifi and lots of hot water in the shower. Great view of the park across the street which was a bonus, and a small balcony as well. Breakfast each morning on the terrace was great, and was the reason I chose to book at this hotel over others (for the view!). The ladies working there (who also do housekeeping) are so friendly and welcoming, with breakfast bought to the table each morning. Although it was the same breakfast each day (omelette, bread with spreads, ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber, olives), it was delicious! Variety of tea, juices and Nescafé also available. Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Spice Bazaar, and a nice walk to Galata Tower and Istiklal Street as well.

Perfect hotel in Istanbul
Good location over looking the sea and 6-8mins walk to blue mosque (up hilll walk ) Small size rooms but perfect for tourist stuff , Breakfast need more hot or cook verity ) Free coffee at the reception Good value for money I would recommend get the room over looking the sea And don’t buy yours mobile sim from the airport buy it locally , you will find loads of mobile phone outlets near Ayasofya, we were four people with one sim and we hotspot other three omobile which was sufficient for us .
