The hotel was lovely, the staff ever so friendly and helpful. We stayed in an amazing, newly renovated room at the top and had excellent views of the Hagia Sophia on one side and over the roof-tops all the way to the Bosphorus on the other side!

Great location for visiting the major sites of the old town, very convenient to the tram line as well to get to modern Istanbul and to the trips on the Bosphorus. Walk-up, no elevator. The place just changed owners, we were there during the transition. More

The two partners who run this hotel are from Alberta in Canada. Jeannie and Rhonda were helpful and friendly at all times.

The location is as good as it gets... More
