Can't beat the location, near all the old city attractions, surrounded by great restaurants, even if they look touristy. The terrace restaurant has amazing views. Helpful staff, convenient shuttle to the airport for 50 euro. A little porous for sound, but on a quiet street for the most part.

The location is the excellent and the best feature of the hotel. You are steps from the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi and the Grand Bazzar. You can see the Bosphorus from the rooms and get a full view of it from the breakfast room. Rooms and amenities are standard, but the location is great.

It is close to all the important spots and also near a great Turkish Bath which has been operating for over 500 years. The mosques are nearby, and the Grand Bazaar and the Catles are all within walking distance. It is a very safe area at night to walk around in, and it has lots of good dining choices.

Loved everything about this hotel. It’s an amazing location for seeing the sights, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are all really helpful and very friendly. The rooftop terrace is lovely and the views from the breakfast room are fabulous, Blue Mosque in one direction, Hagia Sophia in the other and the water from the front. The breakfast itself was wonderful, so much choice and all so fresh. Loved it. The same room is the restaurant/ bar on an evening. The food is great and again the service is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Second Stay

We stayed here 5 1/2 years ago. We enjoyed our stay so we rebooked it for this trip. If anything, it has even gotten better. The staff is quite anxious to please. The hotel has been maintained well plus they’ve added a deck on top with some fantastic views of the area. The location of this hotel could not be any better for seeing sites of the old city. I highly recommend it. Fantastic staff from the front desk, to the Bellman, to the cleaning crew.
