Loved by guests
"The bed were very comfortable, and I appreciate the power socket and curtains for privacy."
"Rooftop is nice but no real view, outside of a peek toward the Asia side of Istanbul but can be nice in the evening and the mornings."
"Moreover, the location is incredibly convenient, situated just a 5-minute walk from the monuments of Sultan Ahmed, Aya Sofya, and Topkapi, making it an ideal choice for exploring these historical sites."

Location & Transportation
Located in Sultanahmet's old city, a 5-minute walk from Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. Sultanahmet Tram Station is 500 meters away. Sabiha Gokcen Airport is 45 km distant; take the HAVATAS bus to Taksim Square. Private airport transfers cost 40 EUR for up to 4 passengers.
Guest Services
24-hour reception provides hand-drawn maps with local tips. Services include free luggage storage, electronic safes, laptop computer use, and fax/printing facilities. The property is tidy with a warm atmosphere reported by guests.
“What strikes me is its rooftop bar, a place to really take in Istanbul's skyline over a local drink. It's a budget-friendly spot that hasn't skimped on character, offering cultural events like Sema ceremonies-something different. I think it's a solid choice, particularly if you value community and want to be steps from Hagia Sophia.”
