For the price of a room at this hotel, one should expect a fitness area and a desk staff with a reasonable command of the English language. There is no fitness area, and communicating with... More

The staff, from picking us up from the airport, to reception staff,bar staff, chambermaids, breakfast waiters/waitresses, could not have been more helpful.

Me and my husband stayed in this hotel in April 2013. The location of the hotel is great, it is just a 5 minute walk to the Sultanahmet square. the walk is very uphill and the roads are cobbly but the trek is worth it.

Stayed 3 nights due to a work meeting. Everything functioned very well - quick check in. Nice room (terrible view of backyard but the pro is the total lack of noise). Breakfast - splendid! Good sleep. Bathroom with rain-shower. Good pressure on water. Meeting room facilities and lunches also very perfect.

The hotel is well situated, if you wanted to tour the old city - it is literally adjacent to an ancient wall. The Bosphorus view is a nice touch as well, if you get a room facing that way.
