The hotel is centrally located in the Fatih area, known for its vibrant atmosphere and proximity to major attractions. The rooms were average in terms of cleanliness and appeared somewhat dated. The dining options were varied but slightly repetitive. The location is convenient for exploring historic sites and enjoying local eateries.

I stayed at this hotel, and it has its ups and downs. The rooms had a strong smell of cigarettes, were not as depicted in the pictures, and lacked basic amenities like shampoo and blankets. On the bright side, the staff were incredibly nice and even helped me find a lost earring. The location is convenient for exploring Istanbul, being just a short walk from major attractions like Sultanahmet and Hagia Sophia. However, the view from the hotel is nothing impressive, and the service can be a bit inconsistent at times. The facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautiful and had comfy beds, and they were spacious compared to other hotels in the area. However, there were no toiletries provided except for a squeezy body wash fixed on the wall by the bath. The shower was good too, enhancing the overall room experience.

My stay here was just lovely! The rooms are excellent with a beautiful view and close to everything in the community. Don't expect any toiletries; there's just a squeezy body wash fixed on the wall by the bath, but that was okay. Service was friendly and very helpful, with access to different places and transport stations. The location is good, only a 5-minute walk from the overground tram that quickly takes you to Hagia Sophia. Dining during my stay was better than the usual Turkish buffet, fresh and extensive. Overall, a nice experience with minor drawbacks!
