I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were perfect, clean, and comfortable, with beautiful traditional Ottoman style decor. However, my only issue was that the rooms were very dim. The hotel gave me a room with a balcony and a stunning view of the southern approach to the Bosporus, which was amazing.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Sultanahmet. The rooms were exceptional, spacious, and luxurious, especially considering the reasonable price. However, the size of the rooms was a bit smaller than expected. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience truly enjoyable. The location is perfect, right in the heart of historic Istanbul. The rooftop dining room offered amazing views of the city, although the homemade muffins were a highlight. Overall, a great value for money with superb rooms and top-notch service.
