    amazing eats
    prime location
    helpful staff
    small room
    limited breakfast

    Exploring the local food scene was fantastic! I indulged in some amazing eats at nearby spots like Mesale Restaurant for authentic Turkish flavors. The hotel’s prime location puts you just a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque and a vibrant bazaar. Plus, the staff was incredibly helpful, making my solo travels stress-free.

    However, the room was a bit of a squeeze! Super small, with hardly any place for luggage, and the bathroom left much to be desired. Don't even ask for a breakfast upgrade unless you want to hear a firm 'no'! And while the AC worked, it took its sweet time to cool down after a long, hot day.

    central location
    rooftop terrace
    small rooms

    The location offers easy access to key attractions, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooftop terrace provides a stunning view of the surroundings, particularly the Blue Mosque.

    Rooms are quite small, leading to limited space for luggage. Bathrooms showed signs of neglect with mold in the shower area and other cleanliness issues, indicating they needed more upkeep. The steep stairs could pose a challenge for anyone with mobility concerns.

    smelly room
    unfriendly staff

    I almost thought of leaving a good review due to the location, but frankly, the unfriendly staff nearly ruined my stay. The tiny, smelly room felt like a closet, and when I requested a complimentary upgrade, I was met with nothing but blank stares. I won't be returning, that's for sure.

    breathtaking view
    noise disturbance

    The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of

    Istanbul. With the Blue Mosque just a stone's throw away, it was heavenly waking up to such a magnificent view. The breakfast was a delightful spread featuring fresh ingredients, but there were minor noise issues in the evening hours from nearby streets.
