8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
The location is definitely the best thing about this hotel! It’s very central, with easy access to the main attractions. The airport bus stop is also very close, just a short walk uphill, which is not a problem at all. The location is truly a gem!
Everything else was good, but unfortunately, some of the staff on the terrace were very unfriendly. After my first experience, After first time in the evening time I didn’t even feel like going back for breakfast, despite it being included in the price, simply because I didn’t want to have the same experience again. Of course, not all the staff were like this, but a few interactions really affected my overall impression.

This hotel is located near the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and a tram station. It is also close to dining options and souvenir shops. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and clean, while the staff are quick to respond to any inquiries. The breakfast was also delicious, with a wide variety of options. A highlight of the hotel is its rooftop café, which offers views of the sea and the mosque. Overall, everything is in good order, and it is recommended for everyone.
The only drawback is that the hotel's location requires a bit of an uphill walk whenever you head out or return. But it’s okay, just take it slow.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
The location is amazing, close to everything, in the heart of old city. The staff is very friendly as well, the transfer to the airport was great too. The terrace is amazing.
The only thing is that the breakfast starts too late, from 8-10, so on our last day we couldn’t have breakfast because we had to leave early to the airport. But other than that, everything was perfect.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2026
It is perfectly located - right in the heart of the historical sights.
However, the rooms are exceptionally small, soundproofing is almost non-existent, and the building feels rather worn down and in need of renovation.
