GREAT location, so close to all the sites as well as transport options. Staff were all really friendly and nice, breakfast was good with excellent coffee, and our room was quiet, had aircon, and a balcony.

The cleaning could have been more thorough - we saw some hair/dust on the floor right next to the walls and under the bed when we moved it.

Location is just perfect close to all Spice Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Topkapi. Very helpful and friendly staff, flexible to late check-in and early check-out. Clean and refurbished rooms. Fridge (mini) upon request.

Small and repetitive breakfast. But nice turkish tea!

The location is perfect in the area of Fatih. Very close to the main attractions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My room was fine,just normal size but very comfortable bed. The area is full of restaurants and other shops. No noisy in the nights.

Lack of the information for tourist, such us maps. Luckily there is a tourist information nearby ( I think the hotel staff does not know )

The location was excellent. Short walk to trains, trams, boats. More affordable than most of the hotels on the European side. Close to important tourist attractions, cafes and restaurants. Staff were helpful and friendly. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Efficient air-conditioning. We stayed 6 nights after booking two.

Couldn't get a second door card, so we always needed to arrive home together. Only one chair in the room. Minor things.

Great location and value for money. If you want to avoid the Main Street and restaurants just turn left out of the main door and left into the next street and you can walk to Sirkeci train station and come out of the main entrance there and you will be by the tram stop.
