I liked everything from complementary breakfast, front desk staff to the spacious lounge. The only thing I am not great about is the size of the room. I have never lived in such a small room any hotel I lived in while travelled worldwide. But the great services by staff off set for the room size.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We felt very welcomed and extremely well looked after by all their staff. We arrived early and the check in staff managed to get a room ready for us ahead of schedule which we greatly appreciated. During breakfast we were looked after by Erhan who was very friendly and helpful. Warisha also made us feel very welcome. Great location - highly recommend this hotel

Very close to main tourist area. Breakfast was limited and TV had few English speaking channels. On 4th floor with terrace for dining above so noisy when people came down to 4th floor for lift at midnight.

The hotel was a little hard to find from the Sultanhamen tram/ metro station but people were very helpful when we asked. When we got to the hotel, the staff were great helping us check in. We had booked a family room and did have to walk out of the hotel and around the corner to get to the room. After a days' traveling I was not impressed, however the room more than made up for it. It was luxurious, large and the kids loved it. There were two single proper beds for the kids, not trundles. They had their own room with tv and we parents had our own room with tv and huge king bed. The hotel is walking distance to Aya Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the various shops. We also walked to the Grand Bazaar which took about 15 minutes. My young son and I had a Turkish massage/ bath and I did find it a little disappointing. However, this is probably only because I am quite familiar with this and that the lady who looked after me was Russian and somehow in Turkey I had expected someone more authentic. We left very early the next morning to do the Gallipoli tour and we told the hotel that we would need breakfast at 6am and would that be a problem because the hotel dining room we noticed was not open until 7am. They said that they would arrange something which I foolishly believed to be room service of some sort. It was not until 6.15 when we actually went to the lobby to ask where breakfast was that they pointed to the dining room. Best to clarify what they mean beforehand I guess.

Hôtel très bien situé si vous souhaitez visiter les attractions majeures d'Istanbul, mais dans une rue passante et bruyante le soir à cause des nombreux bars et restaurants. Le petit déjeuner est très complet et bon et le service agréable (tant à l'accueil qu'au petit-déjeuner). Le restaurant/bar en rooftop est à faire pour avoir une vue imprenable sur Sainte-Sophie et sur la Mosquée Bleue. Par contre, l'isolation phonique des chambres laisse à désirer, au premier étage nous entendions l'accueil, ainsi que les chambres voisines. Et la rue passante de devant est également un nuisible important le soir. En résumé : hôtel très bien localisé mais à ne pas sélectionner si vous souhaitez du repos le soir après une journée de visites !
