It was very easy to walk to the main attractions, especially the Blue Mosque. There were many restaurants nearby for variety. The view from the rooftop restaurant was wonderful.

Hotel in a good central location to all attractions. Tram at end of the road . The room was basic but fine for our needs . Bathroom was very scruffy and had a very bad smell which got worse after a few days , I understand from staff this is a problem in this area . Staff were very helpful and courteous. Restaurant and bar on top floor has a stunning view of Blue Mosque and surrounding area . We ate dinner there in our first night but it was very mediocre and expensive so would not recommend. Breakfast was ok .

I had a miserable experience as I got severely sick with Covid from staying in this hotel because it was dirty, and filthy, had afoul smell from backed-up sewage pipes and there were stray animals in the lobby and outside rooms that were carrying disease and may have rabbies. Even the other guests that were staying in this hotel got sick before checkout. The bathroom and toilet wer clogged so I had to go outside as they took couple days to fix it and it clogged again because they had sewage back up in the main sewage pipes which caused backflow and foul smell. The bathroom also had mold and there was no exhaust fan in bathroom. The room was not clean and the floor was filled with dust and dirt and the heating system was not working and it was freezing cold outside. On top of all this even the TV in the room was not working. The gentleman working at the front desk was a con artist with full of lies and even though I had booked a bigger room with the view of blue mosque he swapped it to a smaller room with no view from the window. Dont go by the edited photos of this hotel, it's old and in dilapidated condition and needs significant repairs and staying here is a health hazard and its not a safe place. The only good thing about this hotel was that it was within walking distance to blue mosque but based on the negative overall experience due to multiple issues I dont recommend this hotel and one should book other hotels in the vicinity that are well maintained and cleaner.

This hotel has the best location in central old Istanbul, and a short walk to the Grand Bazzar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cisterns. And close to the tram and port. The Fine Dine Restaurant on the rooftop has the best view of the city scape. Our room in the 6 floor, had the most gorgeous view of Istanbul. Service is prompt and efficient. Stay Here.
