It is a very atmospheric older style elegant hotel with a lovely garden with a fountain. An oasis in the very crowded old city. Breakfast was served overlooking the Sea of Marmara The cherry on top is that we had a room with a balcony overlooking the Blie Mosque. A very memorable stay.

Great location. Quiet even though you can see the Blue Mosk from the balcony. Breakfast restaurant has a beautiful view of the ocean. Front desk staff were very helpful with dinner ideas and directions. The airport shuttle, although we waited a little bit before our driver arrived, was super smooth. It’s quite a drive from the airport during rush hour.

What a wonderful surprise. I chose this hotel because of it’s proximity to everything I hold dear in Istanbul but it beside its location everything inside and out are stunning. I have stayed in highly rated hotels around the world but this hotel is uniquely wonderful. I highly recommend and am willing to send my hotel photos if anyone doubts the veracity of my assessment.

We had a great stay. The staff is wonderful and accommodating. The hotel itself is beautiful and has a historic charm. Breakfast was great and the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring the historic center of Istanbul and easy access to public transit to the rest of the city. Towels could use some updating. They were darkened and had stains.
