Things I wish I knew before I tried it

Staying in the historic Fatih district was a gem! Cozy rooms with daily housekeeping created a homely vibe, and the staff were incredibly hospitable. The location is top-notch, with attractions just a stroll away. Plus, the restaurant's delectable dishes with guest discounts made our stay even sweeter. Can't wait to return!

cold dishes

poor hygiene

Well, where do I start? The breakfast—oh my, cold dishes with flies! Not to mention the lighting in my room was dimmer than a cave. I also can’t believe I didn’t receive a complimentary upgrade for enduring these horrors. Almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

good location near attractions, clean but shabby room, free tea and water restock

Room cleaning can improve!!! After 4 nights, no one came in!!! Paper-thin walls lead to noise disturbances!!! Front desk often empty, making requests difficult!!! Misleading parking information costs extra!!! Old linens and wall stains need attention!!!

noise issue

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. the staff were wonderfully attentive and made me feel very welcome. The location was simply superb, just a short 2-minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Breakfast offered a good variety and was always fresh and delicious.

The room was a bit small.

limited breakfast variety

The location is perfect for exploring, with historical sites just a short walk away. Staff were friendly and efficient, but noise from outside could be distracting at times. Breakfast was generous, though the variety could improve. a strong choice for city explorers.
