A super-sweet haven in the middle of Sultanahmet. My husband and I loved our stay here. Yusuf and his staff were flexible and attentive when we had flight trouble, and there was always someone friendly in the office downstairs after we both finally got settled. We felt really well cared for.
This place is nicely located for anyone who loves walking! The grand bazaar, Ayasofia, little Sofia, Tokapi Palace, Eminönü and even Galata Kulesi are walkable from this location. There are lots of great places to eat or grab a snack nearby, and it's even a short distance from parkspace by the sea if you're looking to gaze on the horizon for an afternoon. It is along a busy street, and being up so high sometimes the noise at the street level would echo up into our room at night. however, this is no ill reflection on Yusuf or the room -- just a result of the location. If you're a light sleeper bring earplugs and you'll be fine.
Bed was comfy, and there was linen service. Bathroom was a touch snug, but that's kind of how it goes sometimes. The water in the shower got hot and stayed hot, which was so nice after a long day of hiking around the city. The little kitchenette is well equipped with essentials if you want to stay in or need a place to keep your leftovers! There is also some complementary tea and coffee for guests to use, which was a godsend for our jet lag.
Lastly the view out the windows of this place cannot be beat. I miss it already.
Thanks Yusuf!
