The hotel is perfectly situated in the Old Town of SultanAhmet, just a short walk from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The rooms are nice and clean, but lack ventilation causing issues with closing windows. The service is generally friendly and helpful, yet there were some unexpected lapses in coffee service. The dining experience offers simple but tasty Turkish meals. The location is ideal for exploring the major attractions on foot.

I had a stunning view of the rooftops of Istanbul with the Blue Mosque behind from my room on the top floor. However, the room was a bit crowded with Ikea furniture, and the TV was small and old-fashioned. The price was reasonable for this mini motel.
