Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated with an authentic Turkish style and boasted a very comfy bed; however, the mattress could have been better. The service, from the manager down to the staff, was exceptional, going above and beyond with recommendations for sightseeing locations. The location couldn't have been more perfect, situated in the Sultanahmet area within walking distance of all major attractions. The dining experience offered a good view of the Blue Mosque, catering to everyone in my family, but it would have been nice to have more dining options available. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel had an authentic Turkish style, providing rooms with 2 twin beds and a view. The bed was very comfy, but a bit limited on dining options. The service stood out with detailed sightseeing explanations from the manager down, offering a variety of convenient services. The location was perfect for first-timers in Istanbul, close to major attractions in the beautiful Sultanameth district. The dining experience, although lacking a view, catered to everyone with many varieties. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks worth considering.
