    Cutting through the noise

    The location is a dream, just minutes from main attractions like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views that make evenings unforgettable. Room cleanliness was commendable, and the staff, particularly Ibrahim, truly enhance the experience with their thoughtful touches. A few upgrades to breakfast variety would elevate the stay even more.

    Ideal location just a minute from the tram, making it effortless to explore major attractions. The staff were exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond, including assisting with a data SIM card. The rooftop bar provided stunning views and a relaxing space. Breakfast featured delicious Danish pastries, perfect to start the day. Rooms felt a bit snug, especially with a double bed positioned against the wall, but cleanliness was never an issue.

    rooftop terrace
    historical proximity
    outdoor views
    breakfast variety

    Conveniently located within walking distance to historical sites, making it easy to explore the area. The rooftop terrace offers excellent views, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

    One room had air conditioning issues, requiring a room change to another unit that also didn't cool well. Breakfast lacked variety, and the limited English of breakfast staff made it hard to identify food options. Noise from neighboring rooms could be an irritation, especially if you're a light sleeper. The breakfast experience felt lacking, with no replenished water and minimal options offered.

    The location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, with major attractions just a short walk away. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially during our stay with an elderly family member. they helped arrange connecting rooms for convenience.
