Great location. Murad is a great lad, he allowed us to check in early and helped us find a taxi for our transfer. I’d suggest Gritti Pera to work on their breakfast.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (494 reviews)
Absolutely spot on in every way. Exceeded our expectations, the hotel is very central to not only the Sultanahmet area but also for wider connection to Taksim and Asia side. Staff were fantastic especially Burhan, he has you covered. The hotel is immaculately clean, the rooms are extremely quiet at night and very comfortable. Transport access for both walking to key spots and for tram/ferry access is within reach. Would definitely recommend anyone (couples or families) to stay here. We will be coming back to this hotel for sure!
