Fantastic hotel, very helpful and friendly staff, ideal location for visitors, very short walk to the cistern, blue mosque etc. very handy for tram stop for going further away too.
Superb views from the hotel restaurant although it is a bit pricey to eat there, even for Istanbul prices. Apart from that it really is a superb hotel in a fantastic location!

Room with a view and a lot of sound.
The location is fantastic. It is right in the middle of the tourist District and has a great balcony view Hagia Sophia. The rooms are clean, but very small. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The drawback about me so close to being woken up every morning at about 4:40 AM to call to prayer.

It was very convenient to go everywhere.
The staff members were almost nice except some staff. The bed was comfortable.
I didn’t have time to use the restaurant, but Ayasofya view was very nice. I wish I had a chance to dine there. They have a lovely cat, she slept on my lap, which was amazing.
I want to stay again next time I go to Istanbul.
