“Wonderful boutique hotel in ideal location”
Fantastic staff, great location, couldn’t have been more ideal for our long weekend sightseeing. The staff were so knowledgeable and helped us with booking tickets/reservations. The view from the rooftop is awesome in the truest sense of the word - it takes your breath away. Our room was cleaned every day, a great size and quiet too.

“Pleasant except for no sleep 2 of the 3 nights.😡😕”
Reception staff very helpful. Area is amazing for exploring Sultanahmet area. View from the roof top terrace and staff at the restaurant (not the owner/manager) were great.
