The hotel is located in the Sultanahmet neighborhood, right in the center and related to the service to the airport. The rooms feature a modern decoration with a terrace where breakfast is served, exactly like in the pictures, with a bathroom across the hall. The service is top-notch with a range of amenities available, ensuring a comfortable stay. Despite dining offering views of the Marmara or the Blue Mosque, the pho served has room for improvement. The facilities are convenient and modern, catering to various needs. The price reflects the value for money, with some aspects warranting a closer look for optimization.

This hotel was a gem in old Istanbul, with beautifully decorated rooms and a diverse selection of dishes on offer. The service was impeccable round the clock, and the location, boasting stunning views of the Blue Mosque, was unparalleled. Despite these highlights, the bathroom across the hall was a slight inconvenience.

I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location; it's situated right in the heart of the Sultanahmet neighborhood and close to some amazing restaurants. The rooms are beautifully decorated and come with private bathrooms, plus the breakfast terrace offers stunning views. However, the dining options could be more diverse. The service is top-notch, and the staff goes out of their way to assist you. Overall, a superb choice for your stay.
