Seven Hills Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"The main selling point of this hotel is its location. You literally step outside, walk a short block, turn a corner and find yourself in front of Hagia Sophia and multiple other prime attractions. And the hotel’s rooftop restaurant has amazing views of everything. Everything else about this hotel was also good. The staff was very attentive; they handled our check-in and checkout while treating us to tea and coffee. The room was clean and had everything we needed. My only complaint was bad weather, but that’s not really up to them. Would certainly recommend it."
