Loved by guests
"The history of the hotel itself, its homely charm and garden, and the genuineness of its staff, all made my first taste of Istanbul memorable."
"We stayed in a room with a private balcony, which had a spectacular view of both the Bosphorus and the ruins of an Ottoman hamam next door, which we loved."
"Breakfast was amazing with a selection of fresh fruit, pastries/breads, salad, cheese, scrambled eggs, other vege dishes and so many types of olives."

“This hotel distinguishes itself with a tranquil garden setting built around historic Ottoman architecture. Its location, just a short walk from Istanbul's major attractions, is ideal. In my opinion, the personalized service and authentic Turkish breakfast enhance the experience, making it feel both refined and deeply connected to the city's history.”
