Colazione ricca e ottima posizione
La pulizia potrebbe migliorare
Position and view unique and beautiful. Two steps away from the mosques
I will suggest a better cleaning
Rien Fuyez!!! Personnels agressifs, lieux sales Nous ne comprenons pas cette note élevé, les photos sont fakes!!!
Everything was so great! Waitresses and the whole team was really kind and lovely! If possible, i'll go there again! This is not just a Hotel, it is a small Cafe shop where you can eat also, we got very delicious breakfast every morning. The budget room has a small fridge also, so you can buy foods stc. if you want, there are many markets around there. Perfect Location, next to the Sultanahmet Camii (blue mosque)
