I had such a wonderful stay at Alihan's. I only got to meet him the morning I was leaving, but the correspondence and his responses to my mails prior to my arrival was truly impeccable!
The staff was REALLY friendly and helping me with all the information I needed - always with patience and a smile.
The room was nice and big, situated on the top floor with a fantastic view to the Marmara Sea. Right outside the room was the breakfast area and a terrace, also with a beautiful view (Aya Sofya).
The room was nice and clean. Wifi was sometimes a bit slow, but it didn't really bother me.
The location was really good, in walking distance to "everything" - historical sites, restaurants, mini markets etc. This place is good value for the money!
Overall, I'm very content and would definitely recommend staying here. I would also come back some other time!
