  : Where to start. The hotel was perfectly sited for the four main cultural attractions: the Blue Mosque; the Aya Sofia; the Topkapi Palace; and the Basilica Cistern. There were some fabulous restaurants nearby, including the Lale Sultan on the corner, and the Arch bistro was amazing. But more than that, the staff were just superb. Nothing was too much trouble. Helpful, friendly, and informative.
  : Not sure anything could. Some have complained about the noise - we didn't hear anything other than you might expect in an inner-city hotel. I might argue that the patio was small. It didn't matter. All was good.

  : We got upgraded to the family suite which was very spacious and clean. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. Bathroom was very big. The hotel is close to all the major sites in Sultanahmet including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The tram is also just a short walk which is great to explore other areas. While the hotel is close to several restaurants, these can be very expensive so we would recommend availing of the tram to go find food elsewhere - Istiklal Avenue beside Taksim Square is very good There is only a 24-hour reception which is very handy. Breakfast was adequate.
  : Our AC didn't work properly which meant it got pretty hot at night with windows open. We couldn't shut those windows but we didn't mind as it kept the room relatively cool. The room overlooks a school and its playground which meant we needed to keep the blinds closed when changing and the school's morning alarm bell was very loud and would begin at 7.30am.

  : Very good value for this reasonably priced hotel. Very welcoming staff and a excellent Turkish breakfast table. Close to the main attractions and restaurants. In a less noisy street with little noise.

  : I stayed on my own in a double room before a friend joined the following night. We stayed in a family suite we were upgraded to so I had two two slightly different experiences.My night in this room was perfectly fine. Bed wasn't quite as comfortable as the one in the family suite but overall it was perfectly fine for a one night solo stay. I thought the breakfast was adequate. Nothing spectacular but perfectly solid.
  : The bed wasn't as comfortable as the one in the second room I was in the following night but I slept decently in it. No major complaints.

  : I like Abdul from the front desk who was always eager to help me. He even lend me his traveling card. Also location was nice, walking distance from the main attractions of Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi palace.
  : Breakfast was a bit limited as regards European styles. There were very few fruits, yogourt and cereals. In particular, I did not like neither tea, coffee nor the juices but probably because of the water which may have made them taste very differently.
