I had a great experience at the hotel. The location was perfect, with restaurants and shops all around. The room was lovely and clean, and I appreciated the friendly staff. The breakfast at the Premier hotel down the road was delicious, and the fine views made it even better.

We arrived at the hotel early in the morning and requested an early check-in. The manager, Mr Caner, was very generous in allowing us to check in at 11 AM, even though it was supposed to be at 1 PM. We were actually surprised to find that we were given two connected rooms instead of the two separate rooms we had booked. The breakfast on the terrace had an amazing view of the Bosphorus and Blue Mosque. The location was perfect, with all the main attractions just a minute's walk away. There were also many restaurants and the Arasta Bazaar nearby. We are grateful for the assistance and hospitality of Mr Bilben. Highly recommended hotel.
It served its purpose as a comfortable place to keep our belongings and shower.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were really helpful and friendly, especially Albi, the doorman. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with two good-sized rooftop swimming pools, a rooftop bar, and a gym. The location was perfect, right in the heart of everything and in great walking distance to the 5th Avenue, but still far enough away to not be very noisy. Plus, there were about 6 other restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast was amazing, especially on Saturdays with the waffle machine. I couldn't have asked for a better stay.
Was all great.

This hotel is located in an ideal area near the three top tourist spots in town. It is just a short walk away from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The location couldn't be any better for exploring the city's main attractions.
All was perfect, nothing to complain about.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were attentive and caring, always quick to respond to any requests I had. The location is amazing, with the hotel situated right in the center of Sultanahmet. I was able to easily walk to all the must-see tourist sights, including the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. Plus, the street itself is charming and full of character. The bed in the hotel room was comfortable, and I had the best sleep in ages. The breakfast was also delicious, with such a wide variety of options that I went back for a second portion.
Absolutely nothing.

This hotel is in a prime location, so close to all the main attractions. You can easily walk to places like Aya Sofia and TopKapi palace in just a few minutes. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, assisting guests with luggage and even making reservations at other hotels. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the bathrooms are clean. The breakfast, although basic, is provided at an adjoining hotel's rooftop restaurant with a view of the water, adding to the overall pleasant experience.
One small drawback is the lack of English movie or TV drama channels to watch at night, but they do have English news available.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with the Blue Mosque and other top tourist spots just a few minutes' walk away. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. The room was comfortable, and I loved having a balcony with a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious, and the view from the top of the building was simply spectacular.
No improvements needed, everything was great!

The hotel is perfectly located for sightseeing, with must-see tourist sights just adjacent to the hotel. The rooms are large, airy, and impeccably clean, with comfortable beds and a fantastic window view. The bathroom is spacious and well-equipped with hot and cold water, a bath tub, and a shower cell. The service provided by the staff is courteous and friendly, with special gestures like recharging smartphones. The complimentary breakfast served in a nearby hotel is generous, with a variety of options to choose from.
There were some issues with room allocation and promises being unfulfilled, leading to inconvenience for guests.

Fantastic location! Just a short walk from major attractions and close to markets that are open 24 hours. Couldn't be more convenient. The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. Made me feel welcome and answered all of my questions. The breakfast was good, with a decent variety of options to choose from.
The rooms were smaller than expected and not worth the price paid. The pictures online were deceptive.

The hotel had a great location, just a few minutes' walk from major tourist attractions. The breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was generous and had a fantastic view.
The room was not cleaned properly by housekeeping and I had to remind them to change the towels and slippers.
