The hotel is the ideal location to visit Istanbul. Just few minutes (3 min. by foot) from Agya Sofia. The area is full of nice restaurants (the hotel has its own too). The room was brand new and clean. The crew was alwayd kind and ready to satisfy my requests. I totally recommend it if you visit Istanbul as a tourist.

We loved the staff. Ishmael and the other managers bent over backwards to make us comfortable. They were so friendly and helpful. Recommended and organized a sunset cruise around the Bosphorus for $20 euro each. Fabulous. The next day we had a private tour with Sait who was so terrific. $100 euro each. We had vip entrance to the underground cistern system which was unbelievable. Also Hagia Sophia and blue mosque, spice market, metro system and a first class authentic lunch in the old city. We picked this hotel by chance and were so very very pleased. Highly recommend.

The young man at the front desk was amazing. He scheduled a bosphorous tour for us and it was a great way to see some things that we wouldn’t have been able to do since we were only there for 2 days post cruise. The free breakfast was absolutely delicious with a variety of choices. The waiter at the restaurant was so sweet! I wish I would have gotten his name, however I do know his cats name is Sylvester. The bed was comfortable and so close to everything! 10 out of 10!!

Great location if you want to go to the big two mosques. Hotel is very lowkey and quiet. Guy at the front is nice. The double room is tiny but okay if you are going with a close friend or family member, someone you are comfortable with. Room was clean. Was a little depressing vibe because it seemed like we were the only ones there and lighting was dim.

Great location

We have stayed at this hotel on many occasions and cannot fault the service we have received. Location is great- close to many tourist attractions including the blue mosque and Sofia Hagia. On the down side, a new bar has opened up across the hotel and unfortunately they have music blaring until 3am! Breakfast was also basic compared to previous years.
