8.5Verified guest“Spotless and very well located, just off Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, close to the Sultanahmet tram stop. The room was large and well laid out, with complimentary water, fresh towels, tea, and smoke detectors.”
8.5Verified guest“The room was spotlessly clean with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, air conditioning, and a personal safe. The bed was exceptionally comfortable.”
8.5Verified guest“Very good hotel.”
8.5Verified guest“I stayed five nights and was satisfied with everything. The staff were helpful and cooperative. The executive suite was big enough, and the room and bathroom were in good condition. The air conditioning worked properly. It was quiet, with no noise at all. The location was excellent — about a 10-minute walk to Sultan Ahmed and Hagia Sophia. Restaurants are just outside the hotel, and the Sea of Marmara is about 10 minutes away. If you want to avoid the crowded and noisy parts of the city, this is a good choice. For shopping, Taksim Square is about 10 minutes by taxi, costing around 17 TL.”
8.5Verified guest“The staff were extremely attentive and always willing to help. The rooms were immaculately decorated and maintained, with fresh towels and the beds made every morning.”
8.5Verified guest“Great location, clean room, good beds, private sauna use, friendly staff, and a spacious room for two.”
