What a great hotel the service was great. The rooms were great and you can literally walk within a few hundred yards and be to 50 restaurants easily. Less than a half a mile walk to almost all the attractions. We will be back.
We got a free upgrade on our room staff were lovely, rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast had so much to choose from it was my birthday whilst I was in Istanbul and they made it very very special. I didn’t get the name or everyone but Ekrem was very helpful.
Great Hotel to stay it if you are planning on seeing Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and surrounding sites. Staff was very helpful and the room was spotless upon arrival. Would highly recommend if you are having a short stay.
Due to the room size, I would not recommend staying for an extended duration but other than that it was excellent.
Terrific hotel! Beautiful rooms and pool! Very close many attractions and an abundance of food options availible. I found the staff to be super helpful and I will definitely return to this hotel in the future.

Beautiful hotel with fantastic amenities will return for sure
Great location, this hotel is within walking distance from Sultanahmet Square where Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are located. The Big Bus departs from this square as well, as everything seems to start from this location. The staff and premises were fantastic, and there are restaurants everywhere around the hotel. It is a great hotel to stay at, especially if it is someone's first time in this Magnificent city of Istanbul.
