A great base for exploring Istanbul. The staff are amazing and the location is unbeatable!
Great location, friendly staff! Rooms a bit dated but clean. Breakfast was modest but plenty of nearby options. Would definitely return!

My family and I had a wonderful time! The staff, especially Mehmet, went above and beyond. The location was perfect for sightseeing. Breakfast was delicious!
Istanbul was amazing, but the hotel could use some improvements. The location was fantastic though!
