“Nestled in the heart of Sultanahmet, this hotel offers an experience steeped in history, housed within a traditional wooden-fronted building mere steps from the Blue Mosque. I found the rooftop terrace to be a standout, providing not only remarkable views of the mosque but also glimpses of the Bosphorus, creating an immersive sense of place. Despite its bustling location, the hotel's charm and central position make it a worthwhile base for exploring Istanbul's iconic landmarks.”
