Everything was great as expected. The nice staff gave good recommendations. I appreciated to sit in the terrace. Stunning and incredible location in the centre of the old part of Istanbul, met the needs. It was 1 km from Harry Ramsden's, offering quick-service food.

Appreciated every detail about my memorable 3 nights stay here. The room was particularly good with terrace, comfy bed, a 180 degree view of the Bosporous and the breakfast was healthy. The setting was stunning, not far from the tram station, and Turkish public transport. I went to nearby Magna Hungaria and tried their local food. The service was absolutely excellent. Lucky me, got concierge service free of charge too. I did n't want to say goodbye and would like to go back here again.

Great location near to sultanahmat park les than 10 minutes walking, all was excellent. Had supper enjoying drinks at nearby Mercat Bar. This was my 2nd stay, they offered triple room with balcony. The breakfast was delicious with fresh ingredients, home made pastries and a great view, worth the price.
Some people working there were very unhelpful.

The view of the Sea of Marmara and the Sultanahmet Mosque was awesome and my room was brand-new and clean. Everyone who worked there was very very nice and understanding.
