2 day stay in Istanbul - June 2025

Upon arrival we were upgraded to a lovely room with a balcony and sea view. Great location minutes from Sultanahmet mosque, Aya Sofia mosque, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and tram stops (Sultanahmet & Çemberlitaş). All the staff were very helpful throughout our stay, especially Ahmet.

All in all a great stay

If you are used to a typical western european breakfast, you will be disappointed. If you are up for what looked like a more local breakfast, I think you will be satisfied. For some reason it is not permitted to eat food in your room, witch in my oppinion is quite a big ask of the hotell.. There is no power in the mini-fridge, and the owner does not want to turn it on either. We had no TV, and some problems with the electrical outlets (witch got fixed) But all in all it was a very nice room, and the staff is very friendly! Its very close to the grand bazaar, the blue mosque, the tram and a lot of restaurants and shops.
