The view! Nothing and nothing beats the view from the rooftop. The standard room is quite small, but deluxe rooms were good. Good breakfast and amazing helpful staff. The location is super convenient as well, so many restaurants, tram are within walking distance and ofcourse Sultanahmet square. Overall a very pleasing to experience. Definitely recommend it.
This hotel is located within walkable distance of all the landmarks (Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia etc). The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again if I get a chance to go back.
