We stayed here with our two young children (a 5-year-old and a toddler) and had a very pleasant stay based primarily on the location. The hotel is right next to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet tram stop. You truly cannot beat this location for sightseeing!
Our room was clean, and the hospitality was wonderful. We arrived for a very late check-in around 2:00 AM, and the lady at the front door was incredibly kind and welcoming, even though she didn't speak English. We did not notice street noise at night like other guests.
However, families should note that the amenities are very basic. There is no elevator (which can be tough with heavy suitcases and strollers), and the room does not include a hot water kettle, coffee maker, microwave, iron, or complimentary water. No breakfast but so many restaurants right beside hotel. Also, keep in mind that they only accept physical payment cards (no contactless/phone payments).If you are looking for a clean, affordable, and perfectly central spot to explore Istanbul and don't mind the stairs, this is a great choice!

The property is amazing, it is a family owned buisness, and I’m all for supporting family businesses.
The staff are the family members and they are amazing. They helped us in so many ways. The property is neat, well organized, and has everything you need.
The only thing that i have comments on is the noise, if you take a room facing the streets, u will be hearing the noise, BUT they will tell you about this, however we decided to take the room with a view to the streets . They are completely honest.
They can improve of course, but to improve their services they need ur support.
Also they don’t provide shower gels and tooth brush so make sure u bring with you. They do provide soap and shampoos

Proximity of top Istanbul's attractions, the energy of the street the hotel is at.
local shop owner charging me zillion of liras for 2 peaches on the arrival, I went to him to say that he would not be doing this to thirsty Hoja Nassreddin if he arrived to this street. He was apologetic and although I possibly did not change his greed, I at least made him think if it is worth it to rob the tourist every time or get them coming back... Logic (I hope at least he went to read his culture's masterpiece: Adventures of Hodja Nassreddin)
