Positive: The location was amazing, only 1 1/2 short blocks from the metro and tram with Hagia Sophia the Topkapi Palace, Spice Market, and many more sights only a 10-15 mins walk. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Aslan, the night manager, was a true gem with great sightseeing ideas that matched my interests.

Negative: I think "didn't like" is a little harsh. The elevator broke a couple of times, but it was promptly fixed.

Summary: 5 nights in Sultanahmet

Positive: My stay at this hotel was highly positive, and I would certainly choose to revisit. The staff truly sets this establishment apart. Ferhat and Tahir, along with the rest of the team, were consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience very pleasant. The location is absolutely excellent. It serves as a fantastic starting point, allowing easy and quick access to all parts of the city. Regarding the accommodation, the room was indeed on the small side, which is a fair critique. However, it was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which is far more important. Overall, the superb service and convenience of the location greatly outweigh the compact room size. I would revisit this hotel for sure and highly recommend it to others

Negative: Regarding the accommodation, the room was indeed on the small side, which is a fair critique. However, it was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which is far more important.

Summary: If you are ok with small rooms as a solo traveler, this is your option.
