So pleased with the hotel. Fantastic location: within 5 mins walk of all ‘attractions’ but also did not feel overly ‘touristy’. Located very close to lots of restaurants. Staff very helpful. Suggest you go for a room with a sea view. The 5th floor terrace bar is AMAZING. Better than all other views we experienced!

Charles

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was very nice in appearance. Our room was on the first floor overlooking a small park, which had people in it all night carrying on conversations right outside of our window. The bed was not comfortable, was two twin size beds pushed together to make a king with two separate duvet covers on it in order to cover the bed surface. Perhaps it’s a Turkish thing, but there were no face cloths in the bathroom for showering or cleaning yourself. Location has excellent access to all of the sights in the old city area.

Lovely family trip in Istanbul!

Family trip to Istanbul went great because of this beautiful hotel we booked. It's well located near the AyaSofia and the Blue mosque. The Theodosius cisterns and so convenient with their family rooms. Good size and comfy. We loved their rooftop terrace too! We'll definitely come back.

This is one of the most pleasant, peaceful hotels i have stayed in duding the last several years. The staff is patient, no non sense, and helpful with assistance where needed.
