Yummy food options. Pleasant staff and attention to detail. Marvellous and unbeatable location, a few steps away from a l6th - century mosque. Found in a good part of the town.

Individual and cheap rooms, magnificent views of the Marmara Sea. A wide array of facilities like: a safe, a mini-bar and central heating. Fantastic and perfect location, near a Roman monumental column. Also, close to the Sultan Ahtmet mosque.

Located 1000 feet from the hotel, Sokullu Restaurant was a good choice to eat. The location was great, no reason to complain. Excellent home base for a city break in Istanbul! We loved this property.
