Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Perfect location, on the Sultanahmet square, everything is close. Great view from the terrace. Water upon request for free, same with the slippers..

Negative: Upon arrival we were relocated to the neighbouring Turkoman hotel. By the manager we were told it is "the same". The view wasn't as on the pictures and the rooms were totally different. Breakfast was nice, but nothing astonishing. The room was small and the furniture was a bit dated, but cozy. The bathroom could have been cleaner.

Summary: Great location
