My mother and I stayed for 5 nights in August and would highly recommend this hotel.
The staff are very attentive. Kurtulus, the duty manager, and Yavus were helpful throughout our stay; as were the housekeeping staff, breakfast staff and others at reception. They gave great recommendations on places to visit, where to eat and also advise on the easiest routes to places.
We had a room with 2 queen beds which was spacious, comfortable and clean.
The breakfast selection was fantastic - great start to the day. Various hot/cold items and the buffet was constantly restocked. Only suggestion would be to make guests aware of what hot items (eg. omelettes) can be requested from the kitchen, as I only knew of this option when I saw other guests ordering.
The restaurant on the rooftop is great too - lovely food, service, atmosphere and views from the terrace.
The location of the hotel is fantastic. It’s safe and very close to shops and public transport. There are many restaurants in the locality and the hotel is walking distance from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Easy to reach the other side of Galata Bridge by tram too.
Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
