This place is amazing location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. It is very easy to walk to these sights. The staff was cute and helpful. They tried their best to meet my needs. I stayed for several nights and appreciated the convenient access to restaurants and transport.

The sound insulation was not the best (i could hear some noise from the hallway).

Really good Location and Service

central location complimentary tea

I found the location to be very central. It was within a short walk to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The tram station was also easily accessible (about 10 minutes away). I especially liked the complimentary afternoon tea and coffee with snacks.

The sound insulation was not great. I could hear noise from the hallway quite easily. The noise sometimes woke me up early in the morning.

Service

The staff offered to help anytime. They were very friendly. I was impressed by the daily room cleaning. The room was super clean and inviting every evening. The traditional Turkish spread offered plenty of options for breakfast (i especially enjoyed the fresh fruit).

Location

10/10

The hotel sits close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Mosque. Plenty of restaurants are nearby on the same street (there are many local options). The hotel felt safe and secure. I had no safety concerns while exploring the area.
