What people say

We stayed one night at the hotel (last night) and today we asked the ways to get to airports. The staff in the reception is very helpful and recommended us to take metro because it is much cheaper compared to taxi(6 per person:45 a taxi)and though we decided to book a taxi he still told us how to take metro to the airport. We like the bathroom since the air conditioning functions well and it is the most comfortable experience we had during the 5-day Turkey trip. We will definitely book this ho.
all reviews » I liked the staff. Even though they do not speak/ understand English and it was quite complicated to explain our inquiry in English, they were very respectful and warm to the guests. I liked the cuisine, it was delicious. I like the location, Blue Mosque hasn't ever been that close like any other important Historical heritages of Istanbul. The best place to be to visit istanbul you can several touristic places such as Blue mosque, aya sofya, topkapi palace, basilic citern, million age stone, grand bazaar ... The personal and the manager very friendly and helpful. I advise strongly the hotel. Excellent location, at the heart of the square, just a few steps to tourist attractions. The room has a wonderful view. The breakfast at the cafe is satisfying. Attentive staff. Would like to stay there again. Good value for what we've paid. Location is unbeatable. Staff are very helpful. Room was sunny and big with tasteful timber and fabric, not plastic design. Downstairs cafe is nice and sunny with a good view of the Hippodrome and Blue Mosque. I mostly loved location and very friendly staff. the hotel is located in the hipodromme. very clean rooms. Breakfast is amazing, very special. Will come again. Recommend everyone. It situated in the center of old city, location is excellent! The staff is very friendly. The hotel can be recommended as cost effective. great staff, they helped us with everything and we coudnt ask for a better location: in front of the blue mosque. Wonderful location, just besides of blus mosque. Staff are very friendly and breakfast is rich. location excellent , very good service , good Breakfast. The perfect location, facing the Hipodrome. Very reasonable price for what the hotel offers. But you couldn't expect very clean rooms and the usual facilities that others places have in possession. Bear in mind that the hotel offers 4 rooms. The view from the fourth room is amazing, although the room is kind of loft. Breakfast is the same all the time, nothing special but edible. We were allowed to use some utensils from the kitchen. The restaurant and the cafe are expensive, probably due to th. Wonderfull location ，hotel is just in walk distance to main hitorical part of istanbul,any time you can have break to turn back to your hotel and continue where you left. good position. Nothing. I did not like the breakfast, because it is served by the hotel itself (usually guests have a chance to choose the breakfast themselves). The same breakfast every day. There's nothing I didn't like. nothing was bad. :):):). Fungus at bath room. The mosque is nearby and mullah starts prayer extremely early (maybe around 04:00 a.m.)!. they had problem accepting credit card payment and wanted cash. The manager tried to persuade us that the parking is paid, although announced as free. Finally we didn't pay the parking, but arrange the matter beforehand. One of the refrigerator was out of order, but no one tried to fix it. cheating picture, i can not see the mosque well, room is quite dirty and the furniture are very old.
