Belle terrasse rooftop avec vue mer et ville. Quartier sécurisant, situé à mi chemin de la mer et des célèbres mosquées de Sultanahmet facilement accessibles à pieds. Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits début Août, l’hôtel était calme et bien insonorisé. Le personnel est présent 24/24, très aimable et toujours de bon conseil. Une adresse à recommander pour visiter la vieille ville.
