“Clean rooms and good breakfasts. All bath accessories provided. Rooms warm, air conditioner worked on heat. Friendly restaurant staff, and the janitor Reshen spoke a little Russian.”

“Clean and cozy, like a dollhouse. Stayed in two rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors, decorated with taste and high quality. Rooms clean with comfortable beds, everything needed. Heating only via air conditioning in winter. Located on the promenade in Sultanahmet, one side overlooking the strait, the other the historic city and Blue Mosque. All attractions within walking distance. Staff friendly, not intrusive, some speak Russian. Room cleaned diligently every day. Interesting glass café for tea or smoking on the veranda. Price-quality ratio perfect. Recommended.”
