Close enough to a museum and a basilica, overall the location was perfect. We ate at a clean restaurant for breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

Had a really great stay for two nights, everything was brand-new. Perfect, kind staff who were eager to help. The location was great, for example, a Grand bazaar was just a short stroll away from the hotel. What's more, it was near to the piers for Ferry/Boat trips, Istanbul's old city area and the Blue Mosque and Topkapi.

The breakfast looked enjoyable with a good choice of options. It was in a central location, near from the centrum. We didn't have time, so that's why we will come back.
Couldn’t fault!
