This was a fantastic location - really close to the water, Metro, ferries and transportation. The hotel was lovely with each room decorated differently. We were on the 5th floor with a nice balcony that had great views of Hagia Sophia. The hotel staff was very friendly, accommodating and welcomed us each and every time we came back from exploring. We missed breakfast every morning as we liked walking the area early while everyone was getting ready for the day. Within walking distance of basilica’s, The Grand Bazar, The Spice Bazar, shopping, tons of restaurants and Gülhane Park (which is a must walk through!) We arrived very early and our room was still being readied but the lovely staff allowed us to leave our suitcases while we did some exploring and ate. We cannot say enough about this wonderful hotel - it’s clean, quirky, convenient and the staff did a great job with trying to speak the best English as we knew no Turkish. Don’t hesitate to book, much better than any large name hotel and personal service!!

I really wanted to love this hotel, and there were some outstanding things - the location was good, the breakfast was delicious and the styling was cute. However, there were some ways in which I was sorely mislead by the Expedia listing and there were some things that just didn't work about the hotel and my room. On Expedia it clearly states that every room has a patio or balcony space. I booked my room based upon this particular feature. However, it turned out when I arrived that every room EXCEPT those on the 5th floor does have a balcony or patio - and my room was one of two on the 5th floor. So I had a large window that looked out directly into the restaurant across the street instead. I also learned that the elevator only goes to the 4th floor, so I had to drag luggage up and down the narrow spiral staircase from the 4th to 5th floor. The lighting in the stairwell is also on a sensor which would have been fine except the sensor was set for those coming UP the stairwell, not down. So going down the stairs you had to descend in darkness until the last two steps until the next landing when the lights would finally come on. The lighting in my room was another issue. It was too dark to read, write in my journal or find something specific in my suitcase even with all the lights on. Lastly, the deadbolt on my door did not work. I brought this up the first night and was assured it would be fixed the next day - but it was not.

Hidden gem in Istanbul

A hidden gem in the heart of Istanbul. Very cozy hotel with only a few rooms and with a personal touch. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Breakfast is very nice too. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I ever go back to Istanbul.

Clean and comfortable budget hotel

We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort. Bedding and bathroom were clean; bed was comfortable; water pressure was good and the bathroom was clean. The walls are rather thin, but overall, this was a nice budget stay in an unbeatable location. Front desk staff were also really nice. We'd recommend this for someone looking for a good, budget option.

Great boutique hotel in sultanhamnet area of Istanbul. Compared to the surrounding streets it was nice and quiet. The rooms were well decorated and stylish. We had two rooms, both the same standard, however one was small and the other was very large. Both were well equipped though. Breakfast was very nice with good variety every day. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only gripe was we got stuck in the lift one night and no matter how many times we rang the lift alarm, banged on the door and pressed the call button, no staff came to help. Luckily my wife was able to open the door from the outside to let us out.

We had 2 separate rooms on same floor for a family of 4. This hotel was fun and quirky with all its artistic additions and decor. Breakfast was plenty with lots of selection. Turkey is full of smoking and this hotel had a scent of it coming from the foyer or front door where the front staff of all the hotels would gather to smoke. That would be my only complaint of the location but it was everywhere so we got used to it I think. The room was warm for us and couldn’t figure out how to use the AC but we also did t ask and just cooled Down by keeping the balcony door open. Balcony was enjoyable to sit out in and watch the hustle and bustle of the city and listen to the call to pray from the Aya Sofia. This hotel is perfect location to explore all the highlights of the Sultanahmet area.

Upon our arrival we were assigned the room on the 4 floor,the room is a "comfort" but it is very small,all furnished in black and very dark even when we turn on all the lights,we notice that the bathroom door does not close completely,it is a sliding door and it remains open by about 30 centimeters,we notify the reception where a very annoyed employee doesn't even take us into consideration,I write a review on expedia and the next morning at breakfast another employee asks me and they finally fix the door. On the same day me and my husband we get stuck in the lift,we sound the alarm and no one comes, it restarts and it gets stuck again,we ring but nothing. My husband manages to open the door and we go down on foot, the guy at the reception is busy playing with the phone. We were scared because there was no air They write to me and ask me why I still complained about the room and I explain to them what happened and that the problem isn't the room,they tell me that the elevator is fine that maybe I touched something and that it wasn't possible was blocked,this goes on for a while but in the end they apologize. In the following days my husband no longer takes the elevator but takes the stairs and I get stuck again, he calls the employee and finally sees that I was stuck. For the rest, the hotel is in a perfect location and the breakfast is not a buffet but prepared fresh,not very varied,but good. The wifi works great and the room was clean and the bed very very comfortable.

The stay was OK. However, the entire experience ended up turning into true hell on the last day. I already knew about the bad reputation of the city's taxi drivers and I myself was the victim of at least 3 taxi driver extortions during my stay in Istanbul. For the journey from the hotel to the airport, I asked the hotel for recommendations and they recommended a driver. I confirmed the price , which would be paid by card at least 5 times so there would be no problem. unfortunately to my surprise the taxi driver, in addition to driving recklessly, answering the phone all the time, upon arriving at the airport wanted to charge me more than we agreed, claiming that my card was not local and he would incur fees. I said that this was not what was agreed with the hotel, but he still resorted to shouting and threatened to call the police. I know that the taxi driver is not a hotel employee but the experience was terrifying. It took at least 15 minutes for the taxi driver to agree to charge me the agreed amount. Never again. Hypnos never again. The employees at this hotel recommend dishonest taxi drivers as "friends". It ruined the experience.
