Excellant hotel .Within walking distance of the major attractions, but lstanbul is very hilly and beware the hotel half way up a very steep one with difficult pavements and very heavy traffic. The top of the hill is a little more on the flat soif you have walking difficulties perhaps the sister hotel would be better. The staff in both are some of the kindest we have ever met so the Apryllis group are recommended. The rooms are not big but very clean with comfortable beds. Good air conditioning. However we are english and the breakfast for us was very poor. Basic same every day with no replacement if you are late risers as we are.. Salad bar , boiled egg , chips , plain lumpy horrible yogurt. If you are a breakfast person you will be disappointed. The staff in the breakfast room are realy lovely and never stop cleaning. Very good cofee machine. They have a nice rooftop bar ,one night they had belly dancing but we missed because no one told us about it and there were no signs. A shame as l am sure it woud have been fun. The hotel can help you with booking all trips , taxi entrace tickets. It is the staff who make the place so good

A great area, close to all most famous attractions. The views from the roof patio is very beautiful. Staff was very helpful. They arranged us a tour guide speaking our language, a transportation to the beach and transfer to the airoport (extra charge). There are a few high rated restaurants atound the hotel in 1-2 min of walk. Our favourite one was Mivan. It was a great stay!

The best thing about this hotel is by far the location. All the main attractions (mosques, Topkapi etc) are within walking distance (~15 mins) and there's a tram stop around the corner for further ventures (e.g. Kadakoy, Galata etc) The hotel itself however is not a 4* as advertised. It's very basic. I visited with 8 other guests and we were all of the same opinion. It definitely has everything you need to get by, but is not particularly comfortable. The breakfast has more Turkish options than continental (think salads/cheeses) but again has just enough choice for a decent eat - e.g. there isn't an omelette station but boiled and scrambled eggs are available. The rooms were clean and any time housekeeping was requested, it was prompt. The staff were on the whole really friendly - we did however have 1 quite pushy front desk person who repeatedly tried to sell us a boat tour (completely fine for this to happen once on arrival as information but it started to become uncomfortable as it was constant everytime i walked through the lobby after I had explained we had a booking we were already happy with). Across the 9 of us there were varied opinions on the comfort of the beds. In summary, we wouldn't be likely to stay again - however in all fairness, Istanbul is an older city so the options in such a convenient location would be limited, especially for so many people travelling together.

Lovely hotel in a perfect location. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

Service was excellent. The staff was very helpful in guiding you around Istanbul, offering tours, suggestions, and assistance in transportation. The room was very nice and a decent size especially for Europe. Hotel is centrally located to all major attractions. And is approximately 1.5 km from the ferry that can take you across the Bosphorous.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is very well located for the old town. Breakfast was adequate. We had one of the bigger rooms and it was spacious. However the duvet was too small for the bed and the lighting wasn't great and very confusing and it was difficult to have just a bedside light on to read. We booked transfers through the hotel and sadly our car was late/didn't arrive due to rain and traffic. The hotel reception eventually booked us a normal taxi and covered the cost which was great service. Despite this we were very stressed as we were very late getting to the airport. Not sure I'd use the transfer service again

The staff were great. Communication before our stay was excellent. They also have services for tours and transport. The room was clean and spacious. Restaurants are abundant within a 15 min walk as were tourist attractions.

Hotel promedio , cerca de muchos puntos de interes Personal amable

Outstanding experience. Stayed at hotel twice with friends. Multilingual staff offered exemplary services from making recommendations to getting us short notice reservations at a fully booked restaurant. Arranged for private tour and dinner reservations for an entertainment/ evening dinner Bosphorus cruise. Used their recommended airport car service. Highly recommend to travellers.

Overall you feel safe at the hotel. Staff are very helpful although their level of English needs to improve so that they may provide guests with good general information. Nevertheless, they were ALWAYS ready to help you which was very much appreciated. We didn’t like the shuttle taxis to and from the airport. We could not communicate with the drivers because they did not speak any English. In addition, we believe we paid €15 above what we learnt that other travellers had paid for each journey and moreover, the cars were not clean.

Very friendly and helpful staff in an excellent location: just a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. Fabulous breakfast buffet with a range of Turkish salad options etc. - and a lovely roof terrace where we could enjoy the sunshine in the late afternoon and look out over the sea. Only (small) problem was that the single beds were a bit narrow! All in, extremely good value.

Highly recommended, hotel staff was exceptionally helpful - especially the staff in the breakfast room; Reception staff provided valuable information for site seeing and public transportation. Hotel room was clean, modern and comfortable. Hotel is within walking distance of the main historical site seeing sites in Old Town, and a 10 minute walk to the Tram Public transport system, although the hotel is located on a steep incline that can be difficult for senior citizens. Places to eat are around the hotel providing local meals at more reasonable prices compared to the main tourist areas in Old Town. Breakfast is provided, however more salads than breakfast type options available.

Nice breakfast.

Staff was always courteous and friendly. Gave us some great pointers about dining and places to visit that locals frequented instead of the tourist traps. Would definitely stay again

We were very impressed with this hotel and the service. The lady at the front desk was very helpful, and the two men that treated us exceptionally well when we first arrived and when we were leaving, even laughing with us and making sure all of our needs were met. The coloured girl from downstairs where the restaurant was, helped us so much with shopping suggestions, all while showing her beautiful smile. It made such a difference that everybody was smiley and very welcoming. The hotel itself was clean and was cleaned everyday, we were given bottles of water for free in our room every night, and even hot chocolates on our last night. It’s in a convenient area, near to Akrasay, Grand Baazar and many other walkable distance areas. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

The hotel staff were very helpful and spoke good English. The room was clean. The hotel was in the old part of the city and in walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome. They were only about 10 mins away.

An extremely pleasant stay at this hotel, the staff and service was fantastic. Would return in the future.

Great hotel for visiting istanbul. 5 minutes from sultanahmet square. Very close to T 1 tram to karaoke and taksim.

El persinal del Hotel es muy amable y preocupado por los huespedes. El Hotel tiene buena ubicacion para moverse a los lugares turisticos. Cruzando la calle hay un excelente restaurante

Staff excellent. Location excellent Bit noisy.
