The overall impression is very far from a 5 stars hotel. The unique "pro" is the fantastic location in Sultanhamet, the very center of the city, nearby the main spots (Hagia Sofia, Topkapi, Bazaar, Yerebatan Sarayi...) which can be reached in no more that 10 mins walking. The 5 stars are justified only for the magnificent and luxurious common areas... More

For us the most important thing is to feel welcomed, which... More

I was rather concerned about some of the reviews I read about this hotel before booking my reservation there, but went ahead and took a chance because of its ideal location in the cultural center of Istanbul. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was actually there (I spent a total of 9 nights). The hotel is actually very nicely... More
