My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The room with a private Turkish hammam was a unique experience for me and my son, although the lack of plates and pantry for a small meal was a downside. The location was perfect for exploring the attractions of Istanbul, but the pricing seemed a bit steep due to the prime location.

The hotel has a special cozy atmosphere that makes you feel at home from the first minute. The rooms are spacious, nicely furnished, and clean, equipped with all necessary amenities including a private hammam. However, the dining experience could be more inviting, and some areas might require self-service like the gym on the 4th floor. The service goes above and beyond, especially with Mustafa's exceptional care and assistance via WhatsApp even for special occasions like birthdays. The location is perfect for exploring Istanbul's most famous monuments and attractions, with friendly staff like Mustafa and Ramazan always ready to help. The hotel offers a welcoming and supportive atmosphere in the heart of the old city. The hotel's dining options are decent, but could have a bit more warmth to them, although the homemade soups are a pleasant touch.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though small, had a comfortable King size bed and a hammam, but the old noisy AC made it hard to sleep. The service was attentive and cooperative, always checking on us to ensure everything was alright. The location was unbeatable, just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Mosque and Santa Sofia. Dining on the terrace offered a variety of delicious options, making it worth the hotel's cost alone.
