Waking up to a view of Constantine's column was truly breathtaking. However, the small rooms and chilly nights due to weak heating were a bit of a drawback. The service was exceptional, with Ferdi going above and beyond to assist us. The location was unbeatable, walking distance from major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The dining experience was decent but could use some menu improvements.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, right in the center of the old town, just a stone's throw away from all the main attractions. The service was exceptional, with the front desk manager going above and beyond to assist. However, the rooms were a bit small, and the dining options were limited, with old bread being served.

Waking up with a view of Constantine's column was incredible, but the rooms were a bit small and tired-looking. The bathroom layout wasn't ideal, and the walls were thin, making for a noisy night. Heating wasn't strong enough on cold nights, and the balcony door let in a draft. The shower didn't lock, which was inconvenient.
