I have stayed in this hotel perhaps 10 to 15 times since 1998. It was my favorite place in Istanbul. Its location is stunning, right on the corner of the Hippodrome, a short block from the Blue Mosque and so much more. The staff is friendly and helpful, though the level of English much less now than before. The rooms are small but comfortable.

Great location and overall cozy hotel, however, our room had several black mold spots. We booked a 4 bed room and the 4th bed was an auxiliary bed. Hope they will fix the issues with the mold, the hotel has all the potential to be a excellent place.

Lovely hotel right at the Sultanahmet square

I love this hotel. The staff are so helpful and friendly. I got a complimentary cup of Turkish coffee or tea every day. They go above and beyond to fulfill guest requests. They have a lovely little restaurant in the lobby with an amazing view of the Sultanahmet mosque where they serve breakfast and have lunch and dinner available for order. Location is absolutely phenomenal. The Sultanahmet square with all its museums, palaces, mosques, shops, restaurants and public transportation are right outside the front door of the hotel. But the hotel itself is a quiet little oasis to return to after a day of sightseeing. I have stayed here many times and will return again and again. Only one point off for the strong mold smell in the bathroom.
