This hotel in Istanbul was fantastic! It was clean, modern, perfectly located with proximity to the Grand Bazaar across the street and walking distance to other main sights. The hamam was so enjoyable and well staffed. The food at and views from the restaurant were wonderful. What really made the hotel exceptional though was the professional, always courteous and responsive... More

This hotel is wonderful! The staff were the best - extremely friendly, helpful and made us feel at home. Hotel is in great location, very convinient to all the main sights.

The hotel is just five minutes from there so you can go... More
