I recommend this hotel to everyone, the location is really perfect! the cleanliness, clean rooms, friendly staff, on our last day Ali baked delicious eggs especially for us, just as a gesture! Our last evening we had dinner in the roof bar with a great view and a delicious dinner! Also compliments to Huseyn, very friendly and professional! We will definitely go back and we will also stay in this hotel.

Hotel and location: The hotel is small but very sweet. The staff is very helpfull and caring. The location is great, between Gulhane and Sirkeci tram stations, in 2-3 minutes of walking distance from both. Also in 5 five minutes of walking distance from Eminonu boat station. Also in 10-15 minutes of walking distance from the main places of interest (Sultan Ahmet, Hagia Sophia, and etc). The tram passes in every 5 minutes, there are lots of souvenir shops and small restaurants around, lots of noise during day time (that was not a problem for us), full silence is only after 2 a.m. There is a mosque almost in every street of Istanbul, so be ready gor morning azan around 4 a.m. in the morning. The exhange offices close to Sirkeci tram station in Hamidiye street had good exchange rates (like in Kapali Charshi and Laleli). Rooms: Rooms are small but very clean. The linen and towels are changed every day, new bathing sets every day, daily complimentary water bottle. I don’t have enough words to praise the cleanliness, it was perfect not just in rooms, but everywhere in the hotel area. Be aware of the small bath area, but you are getting used to it. Breakfast: During our stay there were some maintenance works in the area linking the terrace with the main hotel area, due to that the breakfast was served in the restaurant next to the hotel. It was good: variety of cheese, jams, honey, eggs - boiled and omelets, bakery, different boreks, variety of breads, hams, fruits, oatmeal and etc. You have to try their menemen - tradional turkish dish that includes eggs, tomatoes, green peppers, and spices such as ground black and red pepper, cooked in olive oil. I will never forget that taste. Also cleanliness of this area was in top. Restaurant in the roof: The restaurant in the roof was open after 4 p.m. and it had a different entrance from the side of the building (due to maintanence). The personal is caring, smiling, everything and everywhere is clean, the service is excellent.

It is an amazing hotel with very helpful staff. Men from the reception advised best hamam, ordered the taxi, and helped with luggage upon arrival of the taxi on the other street. There was an incredible view from the roof of the restaurant. Normally all tables are already booked in the evening, but the staff always helped to find me the place on the roof. I was alone and spent my birthday there, the waiter came back with a delicious piece of cake and candle in 5 minutes once he heard that it's my bhd. Very nice cleaning lady asked me every day whether i need the cleaning today. The location is also very good. You can get in 10 minutes to Hagia Sofia , bus and tramway station. I would highly recommend this hotel.

1. The gentlemen at reception in the morning were very friendly and helpful. It was my first time at Istanbul and they were able to clearly direct us to all the destinations we wanted to visit. They further made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. 2. The location was excellent and close to public transport and interesting historical sites. 3. The room was spacious enough for two people.

The location is perfect for visiting the historic tourist attractions which are nearby. It’s very close to a tram station and a marmaray station which makes traveling to other parts of the city very easy. If you walk a bit further you can get to the Eminönü pier as another transport option. The rooms are kept very clean. They provide a large bottle of water for free every day so you can make tea if you feel like it. If your room is looking out to the street it might be a bit noisy during the day but it wasn’t much of an issue to me. The breakfast is great and they switch it up a bit every day. It’s served on the terrace on the top floor so you can enjoy your food while having a great view over the city. The staff is very helpful and polite. They upgraded my room when I arrived so that was very nice of them.
