It was a terrible experience.I booked this hotel for my mother. She was flying from New York to her hometown and decided to stop in Istanbul for a day to explore the city. I arranged a VIP taxi with the hotel in advance for 50€. They provided the driver’s name, who was supposed to meet her at the airport.However,no one with that name showed up.After 45 min,a different driver finally arrived.They misled her and caused her unnecessary stress.My mother doesn’t speak English and went through an awful experience. But the nightmare didn’t end there.The next day, she booked VIP taxi at the hotel reception for 3 p.m. to go to the airport,also for 50€.The car didn’t arrive at the scheduled time.Every 5 min the staff kept saying the car would arrive in another 5 min,misleading her and promising she would be on time, claiming the drive to the airport would take 30 min. Almost an hour passed,and the car still didn’t show up. My mother was already late for her flight and extremely anxious.The hotel refused to refund the 50€ and told her to keep waiting.In the end,she had to order an Uber herself and head to the airport.The journey, which they claimed would take 30 min, ended up taking 1.5 hours! She barely made it to her flight, rushing to the gate at the last moment.My mother is a 70 y.o.,and this hotel made her nervous,forcing her to run with her luggage. I would never recommend this terrible hotel to anyone due to their disgraceful treatment of guests.

First, there are no elevators and we stay on the 3rd floor. A/C does not work, no safe, room is too small, no space for 2 suite cases, breakfast was a joke. The surroundings are terrible even though it is near Sultanahmet.

We were picked up by the taxi driver, although we had to phone the hotel to find out where the driver was. Took an hour to get there and we had help take the luggage to the room. Room was clean and well set, i would have preferred a bigger room, but it was sufficient. Breakfast was simple food and nothing fancy. They had their own restaurant where the food was excellent, the restaurant staff were very helpful and often gave us free tea and bakalava at any time. Most of the sites we wanted to visit were very close. Food is expensive and if you stay as long as we did you need to consider this before booking a long stay. Every shop is open to negotiation when buying gifts and items for yourself. But, be careful with the barbers as they just keep doing stuff to you even if you say no and then give you a big bill at the end. But did enjoy my stay and woild go back, but for about 3 days, not 8 days like we did.

Location was great, walkable to the main mosques and others sightseeing. Many shopping options nearby. Breakfast was ok. The downside was that in our room the window was high, which we could not see outside, making the room dark.

Property was on a busy street filled with restaurants, close to blue mosque and transport so good location. Entrance was through the restaurant below, breakfast was small and limited despite being a buffet and options repeated every morning. The windows are small and very high up so there’s no view to be seen from the room and feels a little like a prison. Staff are friendly and cleaner was good.
