The accommodation was perfect with very competent and helpful staff. Local scrambled eggs and yoghourt at breakfast. Cozy area, central location close enough to restaurant, Istanbul as the cultural and historical capital of the Ottoman Empire and modern day Turkey and the sokullu pasa mosque.

Nothing to complain about, overall it's good small and modest place with amazingly friendly staff at the reception desk. Savoury breakfast that includes scrambled eggs and yoghourt. The location is stunning, not far from all the main sights, the important landmarks and all main attractions - couldn't be better. Thanks a lot for the stay here - would like to stay there on the next trip.

Staff were extremely polite and exceptionally nice. The location was particularly good to get to all of the main attractions, nearby a tram station. Savoury and absolutely fantastic breakfast included scrambled eggs and yoghourt.

Overall - lovely welcoming place with excellent staff with impeccable service. Scrambled eggs and yoghourt - savoury breakfast. A work desk, a flat-screen television, and a seating area available in the comfort king room. Very very good building, particularly good location not far from centre, the key sights and all the main attractions. Besides, easy to get to a Holy mosque.
