The place was clean and gorgeous, had hospitable and proactive staff who are on night shift who were very helpful. Absolutely perfect and stunning location, it was near a tram station. Had nice dainties at Kahve Dunyasi, located near the hotel.
Views appeared to be not so good.

Everything was amazing, cooperative staff, magnificent location near to all main attractions at sultanahmet area, the public transport and the blue mosque, aya sofa, basilica cistern and gulhane park and a 10 minute walk to where all the ferries dock. We had standard room, and it was recently renovated with good soundproofing and air on. The service was all in all excellent. Airport shuttle service to-&-from the airport was most appreciated.

Family-friendly place, you know. It has very good people and food. Our family room had a heating system, a television with satellite channels and a sitting area. Just a walk down to Kenger, where you can have lunch😀
