Pros: The hotel is ideally located near all the central landmarks in Fatih - including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, and Basilica Cistern, making it perfect for exploring the city, as everything is within easy walking distance. The staff were truly exceptional - I would even say perfect. Everything was taken care of, and the check-in process was smooth, easy, and very welcoming. Breakfast was definitely a 10/10, with a wide selection of delicious foods to choose from. I would especially like to thank the lovely lady who looked after us during breakfast. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and friendly, and her hospitality made our mornings even more enjoyable. Thank you for a beautiful 10/10 stay in Istanbul!

Great value hotel in a lovely area.

Pros: Staff went above and beyond. The area was great too.

Cons: Access to the hotel is restricted, meaning your taxi cannot drop you off or pick you up at the door. The entrance is steep and cobbled as well, with no handrail. This is something about anybody with mobility issues should be aware.
