Outstanding place to stay

Special class in every way. Given a room upgrade without asking because they had it available. Excellent location, close to Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque. Delicious daily breakfast. Excellent staff (Mr. Irhan & Mr. Ismail in particular) and wait staff. Hotel is clean and well kept. Our bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. A great stay!

The lobby of the hotel is beautiful, I am not sure if it was the room I stayed, but both cleanness and construction were ver poor. Walls were w/ significant cracks, in the bathroom it was the worst. Room I stayed w/ significant dust, especially front of the windows where the beds are located. Cleanness usually is a good trait of people in Turkey, I was surprised this poor cleanness in the room. Staff is kind, breakfast is good. They have to take care of the rooms like the way they do the hotel lobby. I would not chose this hotel again.

This was our second stay here. The location is perfect and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast is great as well. If you have elderly persons or persons with mobility issues the walk up the hill to the blue mosque may not be for them but if not you are there in under 10 minutes with easy access to the main transportation links including the hop on hop off bus.
