Lovely little hotel in the heart of the old town

The over-the-top opulence of the hotel is very much a matter of taste - we thought it a perfect fit for the old town! A little worn at the edges, but it's a lovely place, with very helpful and attentive staff and a massive breakfast

On a quiet street, walking distance to major attractions and the sea broadwalk. Reasonably priced. Its an old boutique hotel, rooms are small but clean, staff is friendly, decent breakfast custom omlets and coffees. We used card to keep ac running during our stay.

We enjoyed the hotel and staff very much. If you want a boutique hotel that is designed in the Turkish style, you’ll love it. Orhan was top notch and helped us around the hotel, talking about the city, and is connected throughout the city. The hotel also coordinated our round trip airport transfers.

The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was a good one. The Buffay breakfast was a lot of fun specially, for the kids they get to order their own kind of omelette It’s a small boutique hotel with a very traditional feel. It is close to everything. I love the old style roads leading up to the hotel.

AVOID THIS IS NOT A 4 STAR HOTEL!!! Checked out early it was so bad. This is a 1/2 star hotel at best, extremely disappointed with our experience here never had to deal with a missold holiday property. Please read most recent reviews it is an outdated property with rude staff and lack of amenities. Never have I ever checked out of a hotel early because of how unhygienic and unimpressed I was with the difference between what is advertised on the websites vs how outdated the hotel actually is. Short reasons why: - Unpleasant rooms and bathrooms that are unkempt - Brown splashes on the ceiling above where you sleep - Dirty walls - Rusted bathroom metallurgy - Broken mirror - A hairdryer that is from 2005 that has a filament that heats up red when used and has to turn itself off every 5 minutes to cool down - Bathroom hooks are swivelling when you hang something on them - You could turn the bathroom tap 360 degrees because it was so ill fitted/ready to come off entirely - Wallpaper coming off the walls - Worn out sofa in the room - Mezzanine floor is only 1 metre in height such that the bed is actually just a mattress on the floor, we bumped our heads every time we got up - No kettle, cups or spoons provided in the rooms - Outdated - Rude staff - we were told upon asking for some cups (because maybe they weren't provided in the room in the first place) and a butter knife that we were asking for 'too much' - - Asked where we are 'originally from' when asking for milky tea.

Very Nice

Nice place to stay while in Istanbul. Very close to the boardwalk outside the busy city, on a quiet street. Close enough to walk to absolutely everything and far enough away to escape the chaos that is Istanbul. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the tea and coffee, lots of recommendations on places and things to see. The one thing is the rooms are small, but there is a closet to put stuff, and they are cozy.

The location was perfect about 10mins walk max from the blue mosque, topkapi palace n Hagia sofia 5mins away from Arasta Bazar. Lots of places to eat out. The rooms were very differently decorated ottoman style. The staff Emre, Orhan and Hurside were totally amazing. They were amazing, nothing was too much for them.
