This is a small hotel, located on a busy, vibrant and active street in the tourist section of Sultanhamet. The Ayasofya & Blue Mosque are in walking distance and their domes and minarets can be seen from the rooftop. I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner and the front desk agent were so helpful with everything. The hotel is... More

This hotel was a deal ! The location is awesome, its near to the Sultanahmet tram station, and the lane is full of other hotels and restaurants which are open till late night. Sultanahmet is 'THE' place to stay in Istanbul and we could visit a lot of places nearby because of its location. Places like Hagiya Sofia, Blue Mosque,... More

The hotel has small rooms but extremely clean and quiet if the rooms face the back (don't know how it is in the front but from what I could see they are larger). The ratings are high and reflect a budget travel. The good - prices (the best we could find roaming around), very clean rooms and bathrooms, location in... More

We chose this place based on budget, location and more-or-less good reviews. We didn't expect anything exceptional, everything was as said: very supportive staff, good location, room is OK. But please, why are you serving instant coffee for breakfast? That's a shame, for 35E room rate. More

If you are into luxury then this hotel isn't for you. The hotel was clean while not necessarily modern and maybe slightly overpriced. What it lacks in that respect it makes up with the fact that the manager is very friendly and so we enjoyed our stay. Location is but a leisurely walk to all the major sights in sultanahmet.... More

We initially booked in for one night as we'd arrived late and had tried to get into a couple of boutique hotels recommended by lonely planet (all were pricey and/or full). After spending a night here and having an excellent breakfast in the 3rd floor breakfast room with views (buffet style - traditional turkish (lots of it) with very fresh... More

Room was good - location great - staff friendly and really close to the major sights, but on a very noisy street. Impossible to sleep with the loud music, shouting, drum noises and car horns going on until 4am. The only way to drown out the noise was to turn the air-conditioning on full blast. If you're a light sleeper... More

This hotel is very well located, close to Topkapi, both mosques, public transport both tram & train. The hotel room & bathroom was clean and spacious. The rooms at the front have two windows (double glazed) that open to the street. The back rooms have a window but they have been bricked up which makes them dark. The hotel is... More

Hi.Dear Victoria, First, we would like to tell you thanks for having stay at our hotel.The restaurants or bars can't keep stay open after 01:00 a.m because it is forbidden by police so how did you find that they were open 24 hours it is strange.
