A great hotel in the heart of Istanbul, close to all the attractions with lovely staff, great service, and comfortable rooms. We have stayed in two places in Istanbul and this was the preferred as you have plenty of space, engaging staff who provide a lot of information about the city and it's attractions, and you are conveniently located to reach the blue mosque, hagia Sofia, and the cisterns incredibly quickly. The two Ali's and Rukiye were a standout for their excellent service and support with bookings and suggested itineraries throughout our stay. We like to plan ourselves rather than attend guided tours but they provided invaluable advise specific to our taste and on top of this, they would happily book taxis and restaurants for us. They also were great fun and really added to the enjoyment of Istanbul. Rooms were clean and breakfast was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a simple stay with everything that is important done exceptionally well. ROOMS Simple and spacious. Cleaning done well and daily. Very comfortable bed with a great night's sleep on all three nights. The room was dark and quiet throughout. WALKABILITY Very easy to walk to the major attractions and if you can easily reach trams and public transport if you would prefer not to walk. Rukiye and Ali were very helpful booking taxis and airport transfers where required and at a very good fixed price. FOOD Delicious, buffet style breakfast with a combination of sweet and savoury. Turkish coffee is additional but very good value and well worth the cost. Tea is also wonderful. Looks to be prepared safely and hygienically with something for everyone available.
