Great stay and location!

Excellent location.. 6 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. Clean rooms and nice views. The only negative is that the walls are paper thin and you will be able to hear everything , and I mean everything that goes on in the next room.

Great location. Staff at desk, housekeeping were great. Waiter at breakfast needs customer service training, he couldnt even say good morning, would often block food access and make us walk around. He was throwing food oit the window to the sea gulls and a young women was taking a photo, so he grabbed the gull by one wing, it went crazy, he grabbed the ither wing and bought the bird inside for a photo - so cruel. The rest of the staff were so nice, the waiter was unhelpful, as though he was too good to do a decent job.

Nice hotel in the very heart of Sultanahmet. Driving and parking is a challenge. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good breakfasts on a roof terrace with a beautiful view. Clean and comfy rooms. When booking through Expedia, excellent value for money. Walking distance to the main Sultanahmet attractions - The Blue Mosque, Agia Sofia, Basilica cistern and more. Good choice of restaurants and cafés.
