We stayed in the Bosphorus suite, which quickly became a cherished, quiet and breezy sanctuary from the heat and noise of the city. We particularly enjoyed both our private little deck, and the rooftop observation deck, which provided stunning 360-degree views of the city. The hotel is excellently situated, within walking distance to all attractions, and the staff seemed sincerely eager to help out with whatever we might need.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The property is very tired and run down. The bathroom especially needs to be refinished. The furniture is scuffed and sad. Our electric outlets blew a fuse multiple times a day. A workman kept coming to fix it but the fix would only last a few minutes. The room had a beautiful view and a nice little outdoor terrace and is a good size.

Great stay but not 4 star. This hotel is perfect for someone staying in Istanbul for the first time as you are a few minutes walk away from the two main Mosques, the grand bazaar and other attractions. You are also close to the metro line to explore other areas of the city. The staff are fantastic and very helpful. However, the hotel itself is not 4 stars in my opinion. The rooms are very outdated, the bed was very uncomfortable, the breakfast options aren’t what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. The bathroom also had a bad smell at times. The walls are quite thin so you hear everything from the halls and other rooms. The terrace is nice and gives you views across the city, would be better if breakfast was served there rather than carrying it upstairs in the lift to enjoy the views. Overall, overpriced but good if you just want to be close to the main attractions. I would recommend staying a little further away as the metro is great and saving some money. Sultanhamet is very expensive.

This is a great small hotel in the center of the old town. Everything is within a walking distance. View from the roof terrace is 5 stars. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with amazing views especially from the 4th floor location. We had a free upgrade from 3rd to 4th floor and a knife with plates when we asked for something to cut the watermelon that we bought on the way from airport to hotel. However, hotel needs some upgrades and fixing. Specifically: - Room's furniture needs renewal. - Safety box had broken lock. - Lift in the hotel is the slowest lift ever. People working in the hotel are absolutely amazing. Front desk person Emre is speaking English very well. He gave us a city map and suggested very nice restaurants close by with great food and great prices. Omer was helping us with luggage and also told us about the city. Yasin was helping with any technical issues in room, he brought a working safety box when we complained about the broken one. I would give a hotel staff a 5-star rating.

The place was spotless and the young man at the desk was incredibly helpful. He went out of his way to help us. I was thoroughly impresses by him. The location was great. Easy sightseeing from here. Breakfast was different but mostly typical to the area. The only problem I had was there was not a shuttle that I thought was provided. Other than that it was great!

It is a very short walk to the most important major places to see (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian/Spice Bazaar, several museums, etc). Easily walkable to restaurants & shops. Staff helped us take the train which was nearby. We also walked down & were able to hop on a boat to take a 1.5 hr tour on the Bosphorus.
