    fantastic location
    friendly staff
    small room

    The location is fantastic, so close to all historical sights like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The friendly cleaning lady and the receptionist made our stay a bit brighter with their warm smiles.

    My kids wished for a room with more space for our luggage and comfort. It was tight for the three of us!

    Request a room away from the street to avoid noise, particularly if you're a light sleeper.

    You asked, I answered

    A delightful stay with a fantastic location! Most tourist sites were just a short stroll away. Our cozy room was well-furnished, and we particularly enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast offering a variety of local dishes. A relaxing dip in the pool provided the perfect end to our day. Staff assistance was commendable, ensuring we felt at home.

    killer views
    solid spread
    perfect location
    cramped room
    poor breakfast

    The restaurant scene nearby is unbeatable! I devoured delicious dishes at Roof Mezze 360 and Constantine's Ark with killer views. Plus, the breakfast offered a solid spread, and the location is perfect for hitting those must-see spots! 🌟

    First of all, the room was a disaster—super cramped for our family of four. Breakfast was seriously underwhelming. just sad eggs and instant coffee that made me cringe. And the spa? Let’s just say I could smell the dirt and perfume combo all the way from the lobby. Yikes!

    great rooftop restaurant
    poor breakfast quality

    The rooftop restaurant offers stunning views of the city.

    Breakfast options were disappointingly limited and lacked freshness.
