Checking into this hotel is like joining a family. They have gone the extra mile each and every day! Besides having a beautiful view of the sea we are treated to a massive breakfast array of foods! The restaurant has an unbelievable view of the most famous sights of Istanbul and the lunch and dinner menus are quite large! We went back to stay 3 different times!

Parastoo, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location is right in the middle of all the major sites. Close to transit so you can get anywhere in the city from there as well. No complaints at all. Great Turkish breakfast and amazing views on the rooftop lounge.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Can't beat the location, near all the old city attractions, surrounded by great restaurants, even if they look touristy. The terrace restaurant has amazing views. Helpful staff, convenient shuttle to the airport for 50 euro. A little porous for sound, but on a quiet street for the most part.
Guanqing, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place. Literally 2 minutes to Hagia Sophia. Front desk super helpful, amazing cleaning service and the best breakfast that I had in a long time with an incredible view. Definitely will recommend it.
Fabiana, 3-night trip

Julie, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was excellent except that you could hear next door or upper floor people talking. The rooftop view was wonderful with the Blue in the back. We really appreciate the house keeping work; the bed was decorated so nice one day.

Cynthia, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location is the excellent and the best feature of the hotel. You are steps from the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi and the Grand Bazzar. You can see the Bosphorus from the rooms and get a full view of it from the breakfast room. Rooms and amenities are standard, but the location is great.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It is close to all the important spots and also near a great Turkish Bath which has been operating for over 500 years. The mosques are nearby, and the Grand Bazaar and the Catles are all within walking distance. It is a very safe area at night to walk around in, and it has lots of good dining choices.
Gordon, 3-night trip

Subodh, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved everything about this hotel. It’s an amazing location for seeing the sights, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are all really helpful and very friendly. The rooftop terrace is lovely and the views from the breakfast room are fabulous, Blue Mosque in one direction, Hagia Sophia in the other and the water from the front. The breakfast itself was wonderful, so much choice and all so fresh. Loved it. The same room is the restaurant/ bar on an evening. The food is great and again the service is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
