Lovely stay - highly recommend
We stayed here for 4 nights. The staff are lovely and welcoming, especially Mr. Faysal and Mr. Ramazan "Rambo", who took the time to have tea with us and make us feel welcome during our stay. Location is superb, 5 mins away from Hagia Sofia so great if you want to get there early to line up for tickets. We really enjoyed breakfast and the view from the breakfast area is nice - you either see Hagia Sofia or the strait. Highly recommend this hotel if you're considering where to stay in the Sultanahmet area. We would return here if we are in Istanbul again.
