The hotel is located in Sultanahmet area, which is within walking distance of the major Sultanahmet attractions. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing useful advice about what to visit and how to reach tourist attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast has a good selection. The hotel also has free Turkish tea and cakes available in the reception area.
The hotel is a bit tricky to get to from the tram stop.

We had the best stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk from all the main attractions in this city. We were able to easily visit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel is also conveniently located near bus and tram stops, making it easy to explore further. The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and gave us great tips on what to visit and how to get there. They even lent us a public transportation card filled with funds. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and had a wide variety of options. The hotel building was old but charming, and everything was kept very clean. this hotel offered great value for the price.
Could not be improved in any way.

Great location, just a short walk away from the main attractions and close to restaurants and shops. the staff were very friendly and helpful, providing useful advice and recommendations. the breakfast had a wide variety of delicious options, including fresh fruits and pastries.
The room was disappointing, with a window that didn't close properly, allowing street noise to disturb our sleep. the proximity to a mosque meant we were woken up early every morning by the muezzin's calls to prayer.

I had an amazing stay at a small family-run hotel in Istanbul. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and helped me with everything I needed. The breakfast was the best I've ever had at a small hotel, and the room was beautifully decorated in Ottoman style. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the tourist places. I highly recommend this hotel for an exceptional experience.

This hotel is in the perfect location, within walking distance from all the main attractions in the Old City. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us great advice on how to make the most of our stay. The room had a large and comfortable bed with snow-white bed linens, and the breakfast included delicious Turkish coffee and cake.
No specific improvement needed, everything was perfect.
