What a great hotel the service was great. The rooms were great and you can literally walk within a few hundred yards and be to 50 restaurants easily. Less than a half a mile walk to almost all the attractions. We will be back.

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights from Feb 8. It was a wonderful hotel with clean amenities and very close to HAIGIA Sophia, Blue mosque, Spice Bazar Grand Bazar Cruise Pier etc. Me and my wife used to go out even in midnight and it’s completely safe.
Sultanahmet tramway is hardy 30 metres from hotel. They have an amazing Buffet Breakfast and you will be greeted with charming faces especially wants to thanks Zeco for his attention towards your breakfast requirement. At the end I wants to thanks everyone for making our vacation amazing. Shoutout to Zeco and all his breakfast team and the whole staff from front desk to house keeping.

The staff was so amazing! I felt like home. That's why 5 stars.
The Gym is very well equipped but needs to be maintained more often, the Smith machine was rusty.
The spa was good, but sauna wasn't hot. I had to ask every time to adjust the temperature.
Room was good, but a dresser or a closet would be nice. They cleaned the room every day.
Again, very attentive staff! I enjoyed my stay despite minor issues.

Great Hotel to stay it if you are planning on seeing Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and surrounding sites. Staff was very helpful and the room was spotless upon arrival. Would highly recommend if you are having a short stay.
Due to the room size, I would not recommend staying for an extended duration but other than that it was excellent.

We got a free upgrade on our room staff were lovely, rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast had so much to choose from it was my birthday whilst I was in Istanbul and they made it very very special. I didn’t get the name or everyone but Ekrem was very helpful.
