The Yasmak Sultan was the host hotel for the Istanbul 5 Days orienteering event. I stayed there with a group of 12 other Danes, and we all liked it. The hotel is right in the centre of all the big attractions: Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Water Cistern, Topkapi Palace and has spacious, well-maintained rooms - minibar, good bathroom, air conditioner... more
