“A hotel by the Constantine Hippodrome”

A modest hotel with a wonderful central location. The hotel definitely has seen better days but still rooms are clean, maintenace is good and breakfasts are quite satisfying. It's such a great location and this fact beats all minor distractions you might get. The reception staff is very friendly, the breakfast room lady is fantastic! Good value fo rmoney in a very central Sultanahmet neighborhood!

“Ideal Spot For A Short Stay”

Me and my son only had one day in Istanbul and this was the best place I could of ever hoped for. It is kitty corner from the Blue Mosque, Ayasofya is about a block away and The Yerebatab Cistern is inbetween them. Plus the Grand Bazaar the Spice Market are only about 20 walking minutes away. And the view from the breakfast room is one of the best in the city. The Breakfast buffet was great. They had a nice veriety of food and the views are great. The rooms were comperable of other european hotels. Not very big but very comfortable. The hotel had a comfortable lobby area with chairs, couches and rugs that gave it a home like feel. And it had a computer avaliable to use. The staff was really friendly and helped us with rides to the airport, mailing postcards and directions. I even called there to ask if they would hold our luggage if we got to the hotel earlier than check in time and they said they would hold our luggage. When we arrived they had a room avaliable and let us have it early. I loved Istanbul and would stay here again if I go back.

“Top Hotel for Top City Sites”

City's top sights are on the doorstep of this modest but well-run hotel, with helpful friendly staff. Fantastic views from the breakfast-room terrace of the iconic Blue Mosque and Sea of Marmara.

“Small but good location”

The pictures made the rooms look much bigger and nicer than they actually were. The shower also was extremely small and the terrace smaller than advertised. This being said, it was clean, the staff were nice and the location was phenomenal.

“Basic hotel - brilliant location”

The location of this hotel is definitely its strong point. And as everyone says, the view from the breakfast roof terrace is stunning. It's a very average, practical hotel. Rooms are small and some are VERY dark - the first room we were given was on the first floor and had just one tiny semi-circular window - but luckily we were able to move to a brighter room on the third floor. At the end of the day, a slightly mediocre hotel doesn't matter when it's so close to all the main attractions. It was also very clean and the staff were friendly. I would recommend it - just don't go with high expectations. It's all a bit smaller and shabbier than it looks on the website.

“Nice staff; hotel's seen better days”

Ideal location for the main attractions. Rooms very small (usual for this part of Istanbul) and slightly run down. Bathrooms minuscule. But very clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

“Good things do come in small packages.”

This hotel can not be beaten for location. Next to Blue Mosque and walking distance to all you need. Rooms where small but clean, staff very helpful and friendly. Will visit again. Great breakfast room with great views. Only downside moring prayer call and traffic during the day but just close the window and soon disappears into the background. Great for mature couples or friends weekend or single traveller

“Good in parts”

A nice clean hotel with good view from breakfast room on roof and very convenient location. However not helped to room on arrival and no chair in room.
