İzmit Vacations from ￥150,773

Very nice staff, close to many attractions, clean

Very noisy street, if we open the window can’t sleep, not open too hot and humid

Ideally located for the main tourist attractions (Grand Bazaar, Sultanhamet) all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Tram stop is just up the hill 2 mins away. The hotel is situated in the hub of everything. Turkish breakfast is superb with lots of choices. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Nothing we didnt like about the hotel ir surroundings.

Great hotel. We stayed in a Deluxe room called Bosphorus--Room 602 on sixth floor. We had a terrace with amazing view looking right at Hagia Sophia, Topkapi to the left, and Blue mosque to the right. Farther left amazing view of the bosphorous. Amazing! Bed was comfy, bathroom very nice and good water pressure with jacuzzi tub. The small elevator only goes to the 6th floor, then 1 flight of stairs to the restaurant/bar. Had outdoor terrace just above our room--really enjoyed drinks on the terrace, and breakfast was very large--very good! We mostly walked from hotel and almost all the good stuff was walking distance within minutes. We did finally walk down to the TI tram at Gulhane--about 7 minute walk, but pretty steep. Went over to Eminonu/walked along Galata bridge and up into spice market--which we liked much better than grand bazaar. Don't miss New Mosque (Yeni Cami) right by this. For going back to hotel on T1 we didn't get off at Gulhane as the walk uphill was steep--kept going around to Sultanahmet station--then walk through the gaps going back towards the hotel--great walk with tons of restaurants along the way--much more interesting and full of sights. This hotel was so well situated for doing everything. The staff were great, constantly offering assistance and guidance. We bought several turkish lamps and other stuff, and got if all within 100 yards of the hotel--and I priced shopped at numerous locations--best deals nearby. Would certainly stay again--thanks.

We wanted a view of the Aya Sofia and we also got a view of the Blue Mosque. To think Justinian built the Aya Sofia as a Christian church in five years and nowadays you can barely get through the permit process in less than three years!! You can walk out of the hotel and you have restaurants, tourist sights, and shopping right there. Staff was helpful and so friendly. Ozzie, the concierge always had a big smile for us and a warm hug!!
