I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The rooms were exactly like in the pictures, with modern decoration and its own private bathroom. Having breakfast on the terrace was a delightful experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff available both day and night. The hotel offers a range of services from room service to car hire. The location in the Sultanahmet neighborhood was perfect, close to everything one might need for a stay in the old town, and directly opposite the Blue Mosque. Dining with views of the Blue Mosque was a highlight, and the homemade desserts were a sweet treat. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay comfortable and convenient.
This hotel was a gem in old Istanbul, with beautifully decorated rooms and a diverse selection of dishes on offer. The service was impeccable round the clock, and the location, boasting stunning views of the Blue Mosque, was unparalleled. Despite these highlights, the bathroom across the hall was a slight inconvenience.
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location; it's situated right in the heart of the Sultanahmet neighborhood and close to some amazing restaurants. The rooms are beautifully decorated and come with private bathrooms, plus the breakfast terrace offers stunning views. However, the dining options could be more diverse. The service is top-notch, and the staff goes out of their way to assist you. Overall, a superb choice for your stay.
