On the positive side, the hotel's location was superb, being very close to the tram station and just a stone's throw away from the bustling city center. It was also conveniently situated near popular attractions such as Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia.
The room was very small and cramped, making it difficult to move around and open our luggage properly.

The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and friendly. They went out of their way to assist us during our stay, especially Aiyhan who was extremely helpful. The location of the hotel was excellent, with easy access to all the major attractions in historic Istanbul. It was within a short walking distance to popular sights like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel room was very clean and suitable for a family of three. We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the views from the rooftop terrace.
There was a negative experience during breakfast. One of the staff members serving breakfast was constantly coughing and smoking, which was unpleasant.

The hotel is conveniently located near the main tourist sights in the Sultanahmet District of Istanbul. You can easily walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern entrance past outdoor restaurants. The staff is pleasant and provides good service, always greeting guests with a smile. The breakfast is average but delicious, with fresh and plentiful options. Additionally, the hotel offers a fantastic roof terrace for enjoying coffee, tea, beer, lunch.
The rooms can be a bit tight, especially if you book a single room.

Location near all tourist sights in Sultanahmet: The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the tourist center, within walking distance of the most popular attractions. It is exactly opposite the most outstanding landmarks of this city. Transportation: The hotel is near the train station, just a 2-minute walk away, making it easy to access other parts of the city. Staff: The staff at the hotel were kind and attentive, providing excellent service throughout my stay.
Nothing, it was perfect.

The service at this hotel was absolutely brilliant! The staff was helpful and friendly, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The location was also fantastic, with key attractions and restaurants within walking distance. Additionally, the rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a cozy and relaxing environment.
There were a few aspects that I disliked about my stay. the rooms were quite small, and the bedsheets were not adequate, leading to some discomfort during the night.
