Pros
The host, Ali, is consistently praised for going above and beyond-offering local tips, arranging tours, and providing tea on the terrace.
The hotel sits on a calm street yet is within a 10-minute walk of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the tram line.
The rooftop terrace offers a serene sea view with the Ayasofya Mosque in sight, ideal for decompressing after a day of sightseeing.
A highly recommended restaurant next door offers a discount to hotel guests, serving affordable and tasty meals.
Cons
Some guests have noted that the beds could be more comfortable and that the blankets feel a bit itchy.
A few rooms have a limited number of power outlets, and the ground-floor units facing the street can experience occasional noise from other guests.
