Next to the walls of Topkapi palace. You can walk to Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet in 2 minutes. We called 5 minutes before we arrived at the hotel. Mr. Emin met us on the road. He arranged parking for us. The whole team was very professional and helpful. They offered us coffee at the entrance to the hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Our room had a sea view. And the price was very reasonable. It was a great experience. ##### ali selim Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elemi 24 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, and very welcoming since day one. ##### Elemi Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zissis 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is located within walking distance to historical sites and priced appropriately, hotel attendants manage the property 24/7, are accommodating, and provide detailed information on historical venues and transportation, and eager to offer the occasional espresso, Turkish delight sweets and coffee, and water.
