A super location. Stayed for 3 nights May 2025. The staff were friendly and polite. The location couldn’t be better, approx 3-5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. The breakfast selection was good. The room was clean and comfortable. I thought charging 1 euro for water in the room was a bit cheeky, but there is a little supermarket just up the road with all items priced. The tram system was handy for us getting back at night from the other side of the river in the evenings, as that’s where the bars are. If you’re visiting for the key tourist attractions, then you can’t really find a better spot I don’t think. 12 midday checkout was handy too plus there is a 24 hour reception.. .

Good location but needs a little bit of TLC. The room was just as shown in the photos - quite large but with a lot of furniture.
The bed was pretty comfortable but the doona/duvet was too small for the bed, which was strange.
The night manager, Suat, was lovely but the day manager was really grumpy and we felt we were really putting him out.
The buffet breakfast was huge and there was so much traditional food on offer.
The two gentlemen who ran the buffet were very sweet too.
The cost of getting a car from the hotel to the airport was really high, and oddly, had to be paid to the desk manager in cash, so we opted to get our own taxi instead. And saved a lot of money.
The hotel has obviously been in the same family for many years and that is commendable, and it’s in a great location but it is looking a bit tired I think.

. El hotel muy lindo (laberinto), las atenciones excelentes, desayuno abundante y el personal de primera (1A). Aunque el baño no estaba muy limpio y una de las toallas d mano tenía maquillaje, eso fue lo peor que me encontré. También que tienen TV y no funciona.. .

Not as per photos. It as very disappointed to see that the room and common areas are not at all the same as shown in the pictures shared in hotels.com.
Breakfast is not great quality and do have some varieties.
The staff are fine and polite.
Overall the building is old and shabby.. .
