Location, location, location!!! Perfect property if you know you’re going to be out and about all day. Central to all tourist sites you are going to want to visit and an easy walk to the Galat Bridge. Room was clean and staff were amazing. I would probably select this hotel if I were to travel to Istanbul again as I felt safe, the surrounding area was clean and quiet and people around were very pleasant and helpful.
