Overall happy with stay, staff and room ##### Gunjan Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Raphael 1 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Pleasant with great location The room was comfortable. Would have appreciated another layer of bedding, it was very thin. The bathroom needed some repair work (cheap building materials used which are worn out). But the location was fantastic and the price was competitive. The Continental breakfast had amazing atmosphere and we could all find something to eat and enjoy. ##### Raphael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was a very basic hotel attached to ‘The must’ restaurant, we had a small tv, a fridge, but didn’t really work as was warm, tap was wobbly in bathroom and I stood on a nail sticking up on the floor and there is no lift and after a hard day walking it was hard work climbing up two flights to our room but it was very very clean, the bed was so very comfy and staff were nice, breakfast staff were helpful and nice man on desk, area was spot on so all the minor things didnt bother us and I would happily stay here again ##### Julie Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Swapnil 8 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very inviting hosts and helpful.

Paying this price can go others, sorry to say that. Service is very good though ##### Hoi Yan ### 6/10 Okay #### Azmit 5 Oct 2024 #### Tight squeeze The location was excellent, only a 5 minute walk to Haghia Sophia Mosque. The room however was tight for 3 people. We were given a room on the 2nd floor which was like a loft type with a low ceiling on one end. My husband, son and me kept banging our heads on it, i got quite a nasty bang on the second day. Despite asking several times to change rooms the hotel would not as they said they had no spare rooms. The bathroom was also tight and awkward, no space to hang clothes whilst changing. There was no lift and after a long day out walking the last thing you wanted was to walk another 2 flight of stairs! ##### Azmit Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Derya 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Morgenessen wahr schrecklich und unhigyenisch ##### Derya Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### NIVIA A 11 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muito boa em termos de custo/beneficio. ##### NIVIA A Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kyungsil 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 강추입니다. 채크인부터 너무 친절합니다. 숙소 청결하고 아야소피아 성당 뒤 시내에 위치해 있어서 여행지 방문하기에 너무 좋아요. 특히 환상적인 아침식사에 감동했어요. 다음에 여행오먄 또 방문할 예정입니다. 가격대비 환상적 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0C42AAA4136068E6B7D97B4469E6AAC20F837E141707042395369.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### kyungsil Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### kerim 21 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stopover istanbul Stop over a Istanbul entre 2 vols Occasion de passer bye matinee a Sultanahmet Tres burn place maid bruiillant ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39DF4345A19578D4419651B9DCBB4362FCE061B91700562949897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### kerim Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### karim 19 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bien Séjour bien déroulé ##### karim Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHRISTOPHE 15 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent accueil, personnel très aimable Emplacement idéal pour la visiter. ##### CHRISTOPHE Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos 13 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excelente ubicación y servicio.
