The hotel is situated in the central location very close to the main touristy attractions in Istanbul. The restaurant serves delicious Turkish food.
Can’t fault the property in any way.

Had recently refurbished and neat room, it included a sofa bed, a fireplace, and central heating. The views over marmara sea were PARTICULARLY NICE. The location was marvellous, close to Ataturk. It was located in a nice enough area just off restaurants, both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, and cafes, restaurants, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazar and Blue Mosque.

It was newly decorated, extremely pleasant and for the fresh air. The location was peaceful, approx 10-15 minutes' walk from a Holy mosque. Also a mosque and a basilica were near the hotel.

The room itself was extremely pleasant and newly remodelled and had magnificent views at sunrise and sunset. The bed was extremely comfy and there were an electric kettle and glassware. Its location in Istanbul was particularly good and amazing, very close to the blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and other famous landmarks.

The service was impeccable with parking nearby. The room was extremely pleasant, with smoke detectors and magnificent views over marmara sea. The staff were extremely friendly and qualified, and we could use wake up calls and ironing free of charge. The location of the hotel was magnificent and stunning - approx 10-15 minutes' walk from a historic mosque.

Having an electric kettle, a mini bar fridge and air conditioning in our beautifully decorated room. Delicious breakfast and tasty food selection. Perfect location within easy walking distance of an Ottoman - era Friday mosque.
Very bad bathroom.

Some of great tourist attractions like the blue mosque were not far from the hotel. Fatih district was worth visiting. For sure we would definitely go back.

Located very close to a metro station and the beach. Alice Pub Cafe, located within 15 minutes' walk, is a good dining option...
