The hotel rooms were always left in a stunning condition for us to come back to each day, pleasant, clean, well decorated, and comfortable. However, the room had a small window that was not enough to make it bright. The service was exceptionally friendly and efficient, especially from Karem, Saleh, and Borak. The location is within walking distance to any Sultanahmet attractions but can be challenging for those with mobility issues due to the hilly terrain. The dining experience was great with a wonderful buffet selection, including Turkish and Azerbaijani dishes. The facilities were top-notch.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully appointed with luxurious finishes, offering an amazing view of the old city and sea. The amenities were plenty and of very high quality, including a huge snack basket and free, daily-refilled minibar. The location was ideal for exploring the major tourist sites on foot. The service went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction, providing complimentary high-quality snacks and beverages. The dining experience was top-notch, with a fantastic breakfast. The only downside was the need to climb to access trams and occasional challenges with taxis due to the location's ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean, cozy, and comfortable, equipped with snacks and an espresso machine that got refilled daily, which was amazing. However, the lack of an outside window made the room quite claustrophobic, and the bed was groaning, disturbing my comfort. Additionally, the room didn't get fresh air, and the air conditioning wasn't working properly. The hotel didn't add much value due to the limited city sights in the area.
