We stayed here for one night during our trip to Istanbul and had a really good experience. The hotel is in an older building, but it has a lot of character and the view was absolutely beautiful, especially overlooking the city. The staff were excellent very welcoming, helpful, and attentive from check-in to departure. Even with the older style of the property, everything was comfortable and clean. Great location and a memorable stay overall. We would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a hotel with charm and an amazing view in Istanbul.

We enjoyed the friendly staff and ample breakfast, but what stood out most was the value. The price was very, very reasonable for what we got. Location is pretty good, a short walk to Sultanahmet square and Metro. Restaurants and shops all around the hotel. Definitely a good option for someone looking for a good budget hotel option - clean, friendly, central.
