The hotel provided a very quaint and clean room, but lacked ventilation, and I couldn't close the window. The service was helpful and kind, especially when assisting with booking activities. The location was perfect for exploring the main attractions of Istanbul, though getting lost in the similar streets could be confusing. The dining options were simple but delicious. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room ventilation issues.

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.
