Great Hotel Near Major Attractions
early check-ingreat varietyterrace cafelovely scent
The staff allowed early check-in at 7 AM. Breakfast offered much variety and tasty desserts daily. Views from the terrace cafe were amazing, and it was open 24/7. The hotel was very clean. Even the downstairs toilet in reception had a lovely scent.
The room felt very small. There was not much space to move around our luggage. The bathroom also felt too small for a room we booked.
Service

The staff was very accommodating. They arranged visits and taxis for us. Esa and Gokhan were great and always served with a smile. The cleaning staff was always happy to help when needed.
Location

The hotel sat a few minutes' walk from major sites. Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi were close. This hotel is good for someone who can't walk too much. Many good local restaurants surround the area.

The hotel staff was helpful and courteous, they stored our luggage until later in the day.
The room was not what I expected as I encounter small uncomfortable beds and all day and night I heard a noise from some pipes. The noise came from inside the hotel and it was hard to sleep well because of that.
