United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Would recommend for football fans! I stayed here when I came to watch my team Nottingham Forest away at Fenerbaçhe. Hote

Pros: Would recommend for football fans. Excellent location to Sultanahmet Square and to local bars and restaurants. Staff were excellent and private airport transfer was easy and extremely fast.

Cons: First floor room had small short window above head height. No views but didn’t concern me as only stayed for 2 nights. Just a heads up for those wanting to stay longer.

Great location. Comfortable stay with some callouts!

Pros: Excellent location, the family room was a great size and the beds were very comfortable! Cesar at the front desk was very accommodating with late checkout where available, leaving behind luggage.

Cons: The flooring had some water damage, and the room could benefit from some table lamps as the lighting was a bit dark.

Amazing stay

Pros: Itwas an amazing stay! The hotel is very close to Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet, with plenty of nearby restaurants and a great hotel restaurant as well. Walking to local markets is easy, and the tram is just a short walk away, making it simple to reach Taksim, Galata, and the ferries. The breakfast was tasty with a variety of options, and the room was clean with fast Wi-Fi. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always greeting us and helping with everything—especially the reception team. They were more like friends or hosts than staff, explaining everything and even showing us how to get around. One staff member even escorted us to the tram station—I don’t remember his name, but we’d like to thank him greatly. They also helped us book a taxi to the airport at a good price. The transfer was very clean, safe, and the driver was polite. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent service—we would definitely come back!
