Nice stay close to Sultanahmet
Very convenient location to Sultanahmet with Tram stop just 5 min away and lots of restaurants and coffee options in the Main Street. The staff were very nice and helpful and it almost felt like you are staying in your friends house. The only slight negative was the noise on the street below as it’s a busy area with restaurants and some music being played but it got all quiet roughly after 1 am. For the price I paid it was good value!

Little Gem in Sultanahmet
We had a great time - the location is fantastic - a couple of mintes from tram stations and major attractions. The service was excellent and the owners were very friendly. The room we stayed in was a bit small, but this is quite normal for hotels in the old city and definitely great value for money.

Staff are amazing, very friendly and always able to helpnwith whatever queries oe questions. Locality is superb, everything wthin walkng distance, tram stop literally outside hotel. Even though very central, busy with lots of noise and music, absolutely nothing can be heard from the rooms which is amazingly quiet and can get a good nights sleep!

The hotel is strategically located walking distance to visit most of the attractions of Istambul. The people who work there are very friendly and love helping the guests. Nice breakfast in a petit area they have at the entrance. The hotel is small but comfortable, it has elevator in case guests need to go to the Upper floors.it better to stay in the second floor upwards, since it is easily heard the noise or conversations in the lobby if you are staying in the first floor. Finally, the área is sorrounded by good restaurants.

the staff was super friendly and amazing but the room's bathroom ruined everything. it was in a horrible condition, full of mald and the flushing was bad, water was stucking in the shower and you could not finish your shower without waiting for the water to wash down. moreover, the room was too warm and imposible to breathe during a day
