The room is great and the property is conveniently located in the tourist area of Istanbul within 15 minutes of walking distance to all the important landmarks. The service was excellent with a very helpful front desk who arranged everything for us starting with the airport shuttle. The free breakfast is also great and I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul.

Overall a good hotel and an amazing location. Clean rooms and good staff. The only thing lacking in this hotel is the breakfast. Very basic for a 4 star hotel. Not a good variety and I think pictures they have posted is a bit misleading. The only thing I would recommend them fixing is their breakfast

Hotel is in a great location just a minutes walk to the main road, access to shopping, side streets of restaurants, 15 mins walk to the Blue Mosque and Grand Bizarre. Reception staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable on tours which they booked for us. Room was reasonable size and cleaned everyday, Room temperature was comfortable once we turned off the unit and to open the window. Hotel offered free breakfast also. Airport pick ups available for additional cost, an hours drive. A great stay for 7 nights and highly recommend.

Breakfast included is really good. Bed and pillows are comfortable. There's no English channels on the TV and you can't change the language or add subtitles, also the smart TV doesn't work ☹️ The staff is friendly but I'd tried to book a shuttle from the airport with my flight number and they didn't pick up us, they just stop answering through WhatsApp 😑 Despite that, everything was good. Location is amazing!
