Good location but needs a little bit of TLC
The room was just as shown in the photos - quite large but with a lot of furniture. The bed was pretty comfortable but the doona/duvet was too small for the bed, which was strange. The night manager, Suat, was lovely but the day manager was really grumpy and we felt we were really putting him out. The buffet breakfast was huge and there was so much traditional food on offer. The two gentlemen who ran the buffet were very sweet too. The cost of getting a car from the hotel to the airport was really high, and oddly, had to be paid to the desk manager in cash, so we opted to get our own taxi instead. And saved a lot of money. The hotel has obviously been in the same family for many years and that is commendable, and it’s in a great location but it is looking a bit tired I think.

The hotel is very close to all the main attractions in the old city/sultanahmet area. 10 minutes or less walk to Ayasofia, Blue Mosque, Tokapi Palace and others. The staff was very helpful and friendly. If you have any questions or need anything, they were eager to help. The location and facilities were excellent. Rooms were clean and well serviced.
