This hotel offers a mix of stunning views of the Bosphorus from balconies and plain, yet cozy rooms with small windows. The service is attentive with various convenient amenities, but some areas could use improvement. The location is central, making it easy to explore Sultanahmet, but there are minor drawbacks. The dining experience features local flavors and homemade Turkish food, yet with some limitations. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few areas that could be enhanced.

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The room had a fabulous balcony with a view over the Bosphorus, making my mornings unforgettable, although the price was a bit high. The service was top-notch, with room service always prompt and a welcome drink upon arrival. The location was spot on, close to everything I wanted to explore, though a bit pricey. Dining, with its distinctly local flavors, was a true delight, even though peanut butter was missing from the menu.

This place has some excellent views of the Bosphorus and the neighborhood from the balcony, which is a big plus, but on the downside, the Bosphorus views are nice but not exceptional. The service was top-notch at all times. I can't say enough good things about the service quality. The location is super convenient, close to everything in Sultanahmet, which was a major perk. As for the dining, the self-made Turkish food was a highlight, but the lack of hot options was a bit disappointing. Overall, the facilities were modern and convenient, making my stay quite enjoyable.
