9.6/10 Exceptional! (244 reviews)
Location was excellent for what we needed, staff were amazing nothing was too much for them, we had no issues, hotel was very modern compared to what we have been used to and will be definitely booking here again. Breakfast had a very large selection and the dining area was clean at all times. The general cleanliness of the hotel was excellent. I honestly can't fault this hotel and for me its been the nicest hotel i have stayed in.

lovely building despite restoration going on inside

I always go here when I visit. It's one of my favourite buildings in Istanbul. The harmony and respect between Islam and Christianity is touching but the architecture is spectacular when you consider how old it actually is. Don't forget to touch the lucky spot on the weeping column (to the right as you exit the main mosque).
