I’m telling you right now, there is NO better hotel to stay at in your trip to Istanbul! One: it is extremely convenient as it’s a 4 minute walk to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Two: the staff was truly amazing! Always asking me if I needed anything, going out of their way to make sure all my needs are met. I even needed some souvenirs shipped back home and as it is a family run business, the owners cousin offered to ship my things back home for a GREAT price! Truly a great group of people that really make you feel at home. Thank you again! Will definitely be staying here again next time I come to Istanbul!

This is a family run hotel and the owners and staff are absolutely wonderful to interact with. Amine checked us in and we felt right at home. Paro and Ali were always available to assist and share recommendations. The hotel is walking distance to Topkapi, Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque along plenty of restaurants. We were really happy with our stay and look forward to returning again
