Everything was great during my stay here. The location is great, convenient and close to many of the main sites while remaining in a quiet spot. Rooftop terrace is a nice plus for sunrise. the place itself is clean and comfortable, all the staff there are super friendly and helpful. I stayed in the single room which is small but it was ok for me. Great breakfast. For me it's not as dodgy as the others felt before getting to the hotel. If you have concerns, you can walk along the busy road instead of the street of shops. I think walls are on the thin side, you can hear neighbours TV. But it's not too bad.

We had a wonderful time in the Suite with a terrace. Excellent location, fantastic staff and a wonderful suite. Special thanks to the staff for organizing a very well prepared birthday surprise for my partner, I am very grateful for that. We wish our holiday was longer....didn't want to leave. See you next time! 😊🙏

We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

Location is perfect, a 10-15 min walk to Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, a 30 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Lots of great and affordable restaurants around, lots of markets for food and drinks or souvenirs (they are a lot cheaper here than at the bazaar btw). Easy to get a taxi if you need it. Good Turkish breakfast was included.
