We booked this hotel because it was central to all the major attractions. It is within easy walking distance of the palace, the blue mosque and the Grand Bazaar. It is also right on a tram route. We had a big room overlooking the road, there was a little noise but this is only to be expected when you are... More

If you're after a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet on the main street (Divan Yolu) this would be it! After a hot day of touring, we dragged our bags a short distance from a side street where the tour bus dropped us (30 meters) and arrived at the hotel slightly hot and bothered and were immediately given...

Traveled to Sultanahmet with my family of 4 and we stayed 7 nights. Please note my wife wears the NIQAAB and had no problems here at all.
