I had a delightful stay at the hotel, primarily due to its fantastic location in the historical district, making it super easy to explore major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The Turkish breakfast served at the sister hotel was a highlight, offering both quality and beautiful views. The friendly staff, especially Aziz, made me feel well taken care of throughout my visit. However, the dining options could benefit from a bit more variety, and I did notice the need for some improvements in room amenities like additional bathroom pegs.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel, as the location in the historical district allowed me to easily visit major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, especially Aziz, who went above and beyond during my visit. The Turkish breakfast served on the terrace was a delightful experience, complemented by stunning views. The only downside was the size of the rooms; they were a bit cozier than I expected, but overall, it was a great value for money.

This hotel impresses with its excellent location in the historical district, making it so easy to explore key attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff, especially Aziz, were incredibly helpful, enhancing my experience. I loved the spacious top-floor suite with sea views, although I found the breakfast served at the sister hotel to have a unique charm that was a highlight. While the experience was overall delightful, I felt the breakfast could offer more variety to be truly special.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed by its prime location in the historical district, making it super easy to explore famous sights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff was exceptionally helpful, especially Aziz, who went out of his way to assist me. I loved the unique Turkish breakfast served on the terrace with breathtaking views, but I wish the dining options for lunch and dinner provided a bit more variety. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, but there are a couple of areas where they could improve.
