I have to say I was bitterly disappointed with this hotel not as advertised at all. Elevator not working, the bed very hard. The only redeeming feature was the breakfast..I have to say was delicious! ..no complaints at all ..just a shame the room and elevator didn't have the same standard..Even so , I won't be staying here again .

Rude staff at reception. Told they were overbooked and after we rejected to change hotel magically a room appeared. The room was tiny, impossible to move there. But the worst part was the noise. It was impossible to sleep there, it looked like the walls were made of paper. Terrible stay.

Down a side street ,minutes from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, good views of the mosques from the roof terrace.Basilica cistern right opposite Hagia Sophia.Buy a ticket to enter both mosques and Topkapi palace , works out cheaper. 20 minute walk to the grand bazaar and spice markets. Hotel is pleasant , rooms a bit small but very clean and comfy bed.Great choice for breakfast, cereals, pastries, fruits, several types of bread , hot choice off foods also available and plenty of it . Hotel staff were extremely helpful , always greeted with a smile and asked if we had ,had a good day and where we had been. Special thank you to Kerem hotel manager , contacted us while we were in South Africa to say he would organise a private transfer from the airport as we arrived at 04.40 in the morning. A well run hotel and comfortable .position is petfect .
