8/10 Very good

Perfect location for visiting everything in Sultanahmet. Room was clean and pleasant, lots of complimentary toiletries & tea/coffee. The breakfast buffet, although large with lots of choice, was a little disappointing (hence not 5 stars).
Nicola, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location within walking distance from all the major sightseeings as well public transportation (T1). The room was clean, breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of dishes.

2/10 Poor

If u want a bad hotel with good location here it i

Rude staff at reception. Told they were overbooked and after we rejected to change hotel magically a room appeared. The room was tiny, impossible to move there. But the worst part was the noise. It was impossible to sleep there, it looked like the walls were made of paper. Terrible stay.

Hotel antigo, mas bem conservado. Fica muito próximo das principais atrações de Istambul. Café da manhã bem variado. Quarto confortável, mas o elevador não funcionava.

Ottima posizione per visitare le attrazioni principali, peccato che l'albergo non effettuava il servizio ristorante. La nostra stanza era molto piccola
Stefano, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Down a side street ,minutes from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, good views of the mosques from the roof terrace.Basilica cistern right opposite Hagia Sophia.Buy a ticket to enter both mosques and Topkapi palace , works out cheaper. 20 minute walk to the grand bazaar and spice markets. Hotel is pleasant , rooms a bit small but very clean and comfy bed.Great choice for breakfast, cereals, pastries, fruits, several types of bread , hot choice off foods also available and plenty of it . Hotel staff were extremely helpful , always greeted with a smile and asked if we had ,had a good day and where we had been. Special thank you to Kerem hotel manager , contacted us while we were in South Africa to say he would organise a private transfer from the airport as we arrived at 04.40 in the morning. A well run hotel and comfortable .position is petfect .

Great location with easy access (walking) to the major tourist sites. Breakfast included, with a good selection. Staff friendly, room a bit small but functional. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

I have to say I was bitterly disappointed with this hotel not as advertised at all. Elevator not working, the bed very hard. The only redeeming feature was the breakfast..I have to say was delicious! ..no complaints at all ..just a shame the room and elevator didn't have the same standard..Even so , I won't be staying here again .

Subha, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is good especially the day time front desk is very helpful. He recommended the tours were excellent. But there were two points I didn't like. First, the hotel doesn't allow the escorts come in. It's very inconvenient for me. I am a single but still have that desires. The girls here are pretty and inexpensive. I have to find the other ways to see girls. Second, the bathroom has a little smells. Even though the housekeeper can remove it but it would appears again next days.
