This is a fabulous hotel We stayed there from 24th till 31st May 2013. The reception staff were so helpful and friendly. They make you feel you are their only guest and are willing to assist you all the time. Breakfast was wonderful and food was good at the restaurant and cafeteria. The room was tiny but clean and comfortable... More

In hotel only a few good rooms. These are rooms on the first floor of number from 101 to 107. Rooms have a spacious balcony overlooking the sea, but near the brisk automobile route. Other numbers without a balcony or with very small balcony. The biggest lack of this hotel - lack of the elevator. The baggage needs to be... More

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of May. Our room 106 was on the ground floor with a sea view and a lovely balcony to sit out on. Room is on the small size but perfect for the short stay. Traffic was a bit noisy but didn't disturb us that much. Reception staff were very helpfull with... More

This may i had a decent experience with this hotel. Rooms are very small, the breakfast is not bad but for sure can be much better but the upside is the position, the cleanness of the room and the helpful stuff. The price on their resto and bar is quite high against the hotel. And like everywhere, best western hotel... More

A big plus is the free pick up from the airport, if you book through Best Western or Booking.com. Just email your details to the hotel after making your reservation. If the driver doesn’t appear (!), you can ring the hotel for free from the public service telephone on the Post Office counter situated on the concourse. You’ll then be... More

While in college 35 years ago, I minored in Art History. I studied Byzantine Art and sat through many awe inspiring hours of slides depicting the Hagia Sophia and Chora Church. Sitting in that dark lecture hall I prayed that one day I would see the Hagia Sophia with my own eyes. March 20, 2013 my dream came true. It... More

Tip: book through the hotel website (not through a third party site) and negotiate perks like a free transfer from the airport. The hotel was very good about matching prices. We recently spent five nights in this hotel. The hotel was generally fine but we did experience some major problems which were all related to ventilation in the room. We... More

Fairly decent small hotel under management of Best Western....... Pro's - on Sea-side, good and courteous staffs, walking distance to blue mosque, aya sofiya - old Turkey City. Cons - Bit overpriced, on road side so can get bit noisier at times.
