Great place! Authentic Turkish architecture situated on historic hilltop with many of Istanbul's great sites within a five to ten minute walk.. Our room had an incredible sea view with balcony. The room was very clean and bright with a nice decor. It had wi-fi, mini bar, etc. Breakfast was provided on the rooftop every morning and we were able to take in the city scape from there. The hotel staff are very personable and accommodating. They set up a couple of excursions/reservations for us and sent out laundry out as well which was extremely helpful. The street was lined with other small, authentic buildings which all had restaurants with sea views and there were also shops and excursion agencies within easy walking distance. This is a small place with a personal feel to it. You will get to know your hosts and some of the other guests before you leave. For us, this was a plus!
