We had a spa room on the top (6th floor). It had a stunning view of the Marmara Sea and the East city. The lobby is pleasant and comfortable and there are excellent dining options nearby, including Rainbow Fish & Meat, right across the street. A super-convenient walkable option for Old City sights. I would rate this an easy 5 stars except for the breakfast. The breakfast is ok, but could be improved for Western diners. Lot of cold cheese, salads, but sesame bagels disappeared quickly and scrambled eggs weren’t always available without a long wait. This is not a place to have a rental car, but you don’t need one. Staff members were helpful and kind. Very highly recommended.

The hotel was in a great location, with parking. The room was really big with lots of space but the downside was the paper thin walls - you could literally hear EVERYTHING that was happening in the rooms around you which unfortunately didnt make for a restful stay.

It's a perfect families place and seniors couples, its very close to the old city, mesquitas, shopping and museums. The service is amazing, the breakfast is a typical turkish menú, We have a good experience with new flavors and food. If you hope the typical american breakfast ,this is not the place, but if you're intelligent and searching the best place for your vacations, this is the place. All the personal in the hotel ,works for your confort and rest.
