How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.

Where it is, and how far the monuments are
The hotel stands in Sultanahmet, at Alemdar Mah. Çatalçeşme Sok. No:21, postcode 34110. Its position puts it close to the main monuments of the area, all given here as straight-line distances.
The Basilica Cistern is about 0.2 km away, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque each about 0.4 km, Hagia Irene about 0.5 km and Topkapı Palace about 0.8 km. Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.3 km away, and Sirkeci railway station about 0.6 km.
For flights, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.6 km away and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.1 km, both in a straight line. The hotel offers an airport shuttle for a fee.
From a 12 m² single to a 26 m² superior double
The Single Room, at 12 m² with one twin bed, sleeps one; the Double Room, at 15 m² with a queen bed, sleeps two. Both suit a solo traveller or a couple, with the double giving a little more floor space.
The larger rooms serve small groups and families. The Superior Double Room is the largest at 26 m², with a super-king bed, and sleeps up to three. The Family Room, at 25 m², has a double bed and a twin bed in one space. The Triple Room, at 24 m², has three twin beds, which works for three friends who each want their own bed rather than one party sharing a large bed.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Room | 12 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 |
| Superior Double Room | 26 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 |
| Double Room | 15 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 |
| Family Room | 25 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 double bed | – |
| Triple Room | 24 m² | 3 twin beds | – |
A restaurant, room service, a lift and family rooms
The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so meals can be taken in the dining room or brought to the room. There is a lift, which matters in a building where stairs would otherwise be the only way up with luggage.
Family rooms are among the room types, and children are allowed, so the hotel can host a family without needing connecting or improvised arrangements. A paid airport shuttle and paid parking cover arrival by air or by car; the parking is private.
Check-in, check-out and other rules
Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out until 12:00, a midday departure that gives some room on the final morning. Children are allowed at the hotel. Parking is paid, so anyone driving should factor that in rather than expecting to leave a car for nothing.
Who it suits, and who it should not expect to fit
The hotel suits travellers whose trip centres on the Sultanahmet monuments: the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Topkapı Palace are all within about 0.8 km in a straight line.
The single room, at 12 m² with one twin bed, is also tight for anything beyond sleeping alone, and a party of more than three will need more than one room, since the largest room sleeps up to three.
