8Verified guest“Fantastic place with exceptionally nice night-shift employees. Great location, a 10-15 minute walk from the Tomb of Sultan Ahmet. Just next door to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar, plus Topkapi Palace.”
8Verified guest“My newly decorated superior queen room had a stunning view and came with two comfortable single beds and a selection of tea.”
8Verified guest“Good location, helpful staff, and good rooms. You can reach the Blue Mosque in 5 minutes on foot. Easy access to all old city attractions. Breathtaking view of the Bosphorus from the terrace.”
8Verified guest“The staff were very nice, gave us many tips, and helped us find historical places. I forgot a dress and two t-shirts, and they held them for me. It's a nice boutique hotel with views of the Marmara Sea on one side and the Blue Mosque on the other. I'd definitely recommend it.”
