    Great Location: The hotel is perfectly situated near all the popular tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the city. Everything was within walking distance, including famous landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

    Lack of Elevator: One major downside of the hotel was the absence of an elevator. This became an issue, especially when lugging around heavy suitcases.

    The location of the hotel was perfect for us as foreign tourists, as it was within walking distance of the iconic attractions in Istanbul.

    Felt very much at home, no complaints at all.

    This charming boutique hotel is situated in a prime location just a short walk from the Sultanahmet area. With the tram stop conveniently located just down the street, it's easy to explore the surrounding attractions. The hotel is also surrounded by a variety of restaurants, offering plenty of dining options for guests.

    While the hotel offers a great location, the lack of certain amenities like a swimming pool or a bar may be a drawback for some guests.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Sultanahmet area and close to all the major tourist attractions. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, and it was well-furnished with all the amenities I needed. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a wide variety of choices. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always responding quickly to any requests or queries. The hotel's proximity to the tram line made it easy for me to explore the city and visit other parts of this beautiful place.

    Couldn't stay longer.

    This hotel is located in the heart of Sultanahmet, between two tram stops, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the vibrant neighborhoods and trying out the numerous restaurants. The rooms are comfortably furnished and come with large windows that offer a view of the Hagia Sophia. The breakfast spread here is impressive, with over 50 delicious items to choose from, including some traditional Turkish dishes. It's definitely a great value for money!

    No negatives, everything was alright.
