This is my third time staying at the hotel. The location — in historic Sultanahmet — is unbeatable. It is close to several historic sites as well as excellent Turkish restaurants and shopping places, with wonderful street food. The hotel has its own spa that has excellent a Turkish hamam. The staff is friendly, professional and efficient. Mr. Yunus at the front desk is wonderful. He messaged me before my trip to ask if I needed transport from the airport and arranged it promptly. The rooms are very clean and the complimentary buffet breakfast is excellent. I most highly recommend the hotel and will be staying there on my next visit.
