“The location was perfect, a short walk to Gulhane tram stop and close to everything in the city centre. The staff were friendly and helpful, rooms had basic amenities, and the included breakfast was a bonus.”

8Verified guest

“Very good location, 5-7 minutes from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and railway station, and 15 minutes to Galata Bridge. The Grand Bazaar is 20 minutes away. The tram stop is right next to the hotel. The room was small but clean and nicely equipped with a fridge, aircon, and flat-screen TV. Breakfast was nice.”
