Great small hotel with excellent location
We had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating and would go above and beyond for your request. The hotel was clean and location was excellent. Only comment was there should be more shelf and hooks in the bathroom (the room I stayed has 0). Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again next time

The property is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at the cafe is excellent and its three blocks downhill from Sultanhamett square and the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia. I have stayed at the Senatus twice now and will stay there again if and when I go back.

The hotel is in a great location, just couple of minutes walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque. It is 3* hotel. The room was really small, but luckily we were out most of the time so didn't mind that. The breakfast buffet was bit limited to our taste, but it depends on everyone's taste.
