good, good, good
My stay was a good experience, primarily due to the hotel's amazing rooftop terrace where breakfast with fine views was served. The really good breakfast spread featured a whopping 52 different items, including homemade Turkish specialties I also loved how the staff went above and beyond, offering personalized recommendations for local tours and restaurants, ensuring I felt genuinely cared for during my entire stay.
totally recommend ❤️😊

Clean, bright room. Adequate space for two. handy tea and coffee amenities.
Rooms are quite small. Heating issues during winter. No elevator for bags. Limited breakfast options, especially late. Only one face towel provided while shower towels were sufficient. Noisy air conditioning. a street view resulted in additional noise.

The hotel’s culinary scene hit the mark with a Turkish breakfast that felt like a feast! The fresh ingredients and variety kept my taste buds dancing. Plus, the location means you're just a hop away from Efezade and Sultanmehmet Lokanta for some more local flavors. Also, the staff were super accommodating and made everything smooth!
While the heating was cranked up indoors and the AC was out until summer, the charm of the hotel still shined through. I'd suggest opting for a room with a window if you're planning a winter stay!

Here’s why it’s a mixed review
An exceptional location made exploring attractions effortless. the staff was warm and attentive, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Rooms were smaller than expected, and the absence of an elevator complicates luggage transport for guests.

Had a lovely stay with clean and cozy rooms, and the breakfast was a feast with many delicious options to choose from! I enjoyed some quiet moments in the lounge and there was a small reading nook that was quite inviting. Just a heads up, the WiFi wasn’t the best in my room, but overall, I had a great experience. 😊

The location is perfect, just a short walk to key attractions and a lovely nearby park for relaxation. Guests rave about the Turkish breakfast with a great variety and homemade biscuits—definitely a highlight! Staff members were friendly and efficient, though managing luggage can be tricky without an elevator, and the rooms felt a bit small for a longer stay.

easy stroll to top landmarks and beautiful parks
I really enjoyed my stay as the hotel was just a few steps away from Gulhane Park and only a short walk to the iconic Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, making my city explorations effortless and delightful.

Excellent location, just a 5-minute walk to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast was a delightful spread of traditional Turkish fare, with standout dishes like octopus millefeuille, and the staff provided exceptional service, especially Maharan who was incredibly helpful in navigating the area. However, limited space in the rooms made it a bit cramped for two, and managing luggage without an elevator proved challenging on arrival and departure.
