Overall our stay at the hotel was excellent! We got the room with a balcony facing the Hagia Sophia and honestly, I don’t think you could have gotten a better view of it. Coffee was good and they provided plenty of water, which was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Bedroom slippers were good too. They provided bath towels and hand towels but I do wish face towels were provided too. I also found the shower floor a bit slippery.

Could not have been better!
We couldn't not fault this hotel and the staff. They are so friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond, more than at any other hotel I've stayed at. They literally cannot do enough for you. Breakfast was tasty and plentyful. Expectations were exceeded. The room was large with a nice large bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. Had the best hotel sleep ever. The perfect place to get immersed in the historic culture of Istanbul.
