9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

Safe and clean, including for a solo female traveler. Exceptional on cleanliness. Stunning rooftop view (less common to find) and delicious Turkish breakfast with a wide range of options (they are very prompt in packing it up at end of breakfast time so be sure to come on time). Easy access to pedestrian walkway along the water. Very close to historic sites, shops. Interior feels like a well kept old home or museum. Each room has unique design aspects like painted wood closet doors or separate sitting area. The staff take personal pride in excellent service and maintaining the hotel. The hotel suggested and booked a traditional hammam experience (that place was built in the 1400s), with transportation included in the price. Just outside the hotel are ancient city walls. I stopped as part of a long layover I gave myself, more to rest than do touristy things, but it is well suited to either. Would stay again.
