Great Hotel in a great location !

I was really pleased and very happy with this hotel. The front desk folks were always kind and chatty with us and were more than happy to offer any services and/or answer questions. Breakfast was FABULOUS! Great variety of food and they slightly changed it up every day. There was even chocolate cake one morning, come on? Chocolate cake? YES PLEASE!! The room was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice. Great overall experience with a Bed and Breakfast small hotel feel to it. Big fan. Also, the main touristy activities such as Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque and Sultan Palace was less than 10 minutes walking so a great deal and a great way to save money.

Great for layover stay

I stayed here on a 17 hour layover. It was comfortable and clean, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Prices have changed on shuttles to and from airport unlike the listing it is actually 50 euros. Shuttle was great. I did not get to enjoy breakfast as my flight was really early . The hotel is in a safe and convenient area , which suited me well as a solo woman traveller. It is not a fancy hotel but it has everything you need for a short stay .

Great stay!

Overall we had a great stay. The hotel is located very close to blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great with a variety of delicious and fresh dishes. My only complaint was the air conditioning. It got quite warm during the day and the air conditioning didn’t make much of a difference. We had our AC checked couple times but it didn’t make a difference. Thankfully the staff was able to accommodate a fan for us which I think should be in all rooms.
