This hotel has a great location near the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. The price was very good (under $100) while many hotels in the area charge well over that amount. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the top floor. You can see the walls of the palace, the water, the Asian side of the city, and the sun... More

We stayed for 4 nights in April and had a very pleasant stay. Arrival: Upon arrival we were greeted very heartily and friendly by the staff in reception.

We got a taxi back to the... More
