This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! It's in an ideal location, just a stone's throw from major attractions, and has a cozy, family-run atmosphere. The staff treated me like family, and the breakfast options were fantastic. My only small issue was the room location, which was in the basement but still very comfortable.

This hotel is truly a gem! Nestled right next to the stunning Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, it offered a perfect launchpad for exploring Istanbul's historic sites. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and the breakfast served on the terrace with a view of the Bosphorus was a highlight. However, the rooms lacked kettles, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, the experience was wonderful and well worth the price.

Staying at this family-run hotel was an absolute delight! The location couldn't be better-just steps from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. I loved the warm service provided by the staff, who treated me like family. The breakfast was delicious and the rooftop view was breathtaking. A couple of minor drawbacks were the room size, which was a bit small, and the fact that some amenities could use an update. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and great value for money.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Istanbul that completely impressed me! The location is perfect, just a short walk from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The rooms were uniquely decorated and spotlessly clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I especially loved the rooftop breakfast terrace, which offers stunning views and a fantastic selection of Turkish breakfast options. While I had an exceptional experience, there were a couple of minor inconveniences that could be improved upon.
