Stayed here with my wife in September for 5 nights. Great communication with Osman before and during our stay. We stayed in the Ottoman room. Lovely design, great decoration and comfortable bed. No bath as I had hoped but I did ask for this room. Air con worked very well. No instructions on how to use the TV, did play around with it, finding you have to use in combination with the satellite box. Unusual breakfast which got a little repetitive. After speaking to Osman we managed to change the format slightly. Clean room was kept clean by the efficient maid service. The location is excellent, being 5 minutes from a host of great restaurants and 10 minutes from the mail attractions. Only problem we had was with booking the airport executive transfer. This never turned up, even though we were told it was about to arrive when checking with reception. After 45 minutes we had to grab a battered, dusty, no air conditioned taxi from the street. This would have been half the price we actually paid the hotel in advance, so very frustrated at this price and we had to rush through customs etc.…
the location of hotel cannot be better, close to Topkapi, tram, Blue Mosque and other POIs. the streets are pretty crowd, like in whole Istanbul, so arriving by Taxi it takes a while. Room were very good, with view to Topkapi (we had room 88, 4th floor). Breakfast was great and staff very nice
The hotel is located in the heart of all the tourist attractions. This was important to us as we only had a couple of nights. Being able to get every where by foot is a huge bonus - traffic in Istanbul is a nightmare. It does therefore mean if you do anything that requires a vehicle to/from the hotel you can expect it to take a long time. The hotel got us a taxi when we left to go to airport. It took 30mins for the taxi to arrive (and we suspect we could have flagged one outside quicker and cheaper). We stayed in an executive room. It was nice enough- had everything you needed. Little worn in places but was generally as pictured. Hotel has a lift- although there are a still a number of stairs to get to the lift. Breakfast was good. We booked the Bosporous river cruise advertised in reception (€19 pp inc transfer for 3hr, with 1hr stop in Asia). It was ok, but be aware we left 30mins late because of pickups and traffic and we were at least an hour late back to the port which is then some distance from main sights which we chose to walk to rather than sit in traffic. If you have little time in Istanbul, see if there are other shorter tours (the ‘shopping’ stop in Asia is a waste of time). Verdict- perfect if you want to be in heart of it all and are happy getting around by foot/trams.…
We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel, it was just around the corner from all of the main attractions, plenty of restaurants near by. Our room had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable. I was a little unsure about breakfast as it was an odd selection and tiny portions (pots) of “everything“ on your plate, we didn’t even know what it was; by the end of our stay it seemed a bit repetitive. I would have preferred to be able to have a choice of some kind and pick some options.
I am SO glad my wife found this place... we spent four nights here, and were really delighted. The rooms were a bit on the small side, but clean, comfortable, and uniquely decorated. We visited in August, and the air conditioner was up to the task. Breakfasts here were very reasonable, and the staff was very helpful in all manner of things. The hotel is wonderfully located just one short block from the tram stop, and walking distance from all of the major sites in Sultanahmet. We would gladly stay here again!
The location is perfect as it is near to the Gulhane tram station and can you get to the sites of interest like Top Kapi palace , Hagias Sophia and Sultan Ahmet mosque by walk. The room was spacious and well equipped with all the amenities shown in description. The room also had a French style balcony for having your coffee time while watching the street down. They have parking valet. The hotel itself is designed internally in a very interesting pattern and the rooms are decorated as per particular theme. My Room was designed with a theme named PASSION and so yes you would be passionately enjoying your stay inside the room ;) . The best thing i would like to mention is that the staff was really nice and accommodating and they made my stay really great.
Beautiful hotel, with the best location. It’s close to everything and still peaceful. The staff is also very helpful. The design of the hotel is very unique and every room is special. We lived in the ottoman suite. Everything in the room was beautiful.
We had an amazing stay in Istanbul. The boutique hotel is located at the centre of the old town and the pictures of the hotel and room looked exactly as the pictures on their website. Looking forward to yet another great stay when we next visit Istanbul!! We’ve made a vlog of our trip so for more information find us by searching Taja & Mamoyo into YouTube. Accommodation – we stayed in the Penthouse x1 bedroom, the room had a balcony overlooking Hagia Sophia which was a welcomed bonus view, King-size bed and a bathroom (shower). The décor was fitting for the Turkish old city vibe. The rooms were also very clean and cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. Breakfast food – We had bed and breakfast, so only breakfast was included. This was all in the main dining area and was served to us, the breakfast was not to our taste, however some elements of it were enjoyable. Location – The town centre has an abundance of restaurants and shops, with the main tourist attractions being the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar. You can also book boat trips and excursions from the many travel agencies. We booked one of our excursions prior to travelling, we booked via Viator. We Highly recommend the night cruise on the Bosphorus and also the Turkish Hammam both these were booked via Tour agency – Sea and Land Travel Agency. Covid – Sanitizer is readily available in the main communal area.…
we stayed at this hotel for a week with my family very good hotel clean lovely breakfast nıce hotel. service super reception Mr Osman he do he is best for us... ı recommend this place to everyone to stay...
Bit confused while looking at the reception, it was supposed to be like one due to the style & design of the establishment...Cool. Stayed here for 3 nights. Located at the center of the old town. Had some challenges with the hot water in the bathroom, however was fixed within minutes. Breakfast was excellent and simple, I guess better than the ones having buffet as there’s no food wastage and prepared to one’s consumption as required. Only issue was construction adjacent to the hotel, with some hammering and drilling works which was stopped after 23:00 hrs.(understandable),since we were all day long sightseeing. Receptionist were welcoming and honest.
