The experience was perfectly pleasant, would stay here again and again. The location was quiet, next to Turkey, and all tourist attractions and easily accessible. Spent a nice evening at East and Food, located near the venue. The staffs were attentive & qualified. The service was exceptional, including an early check-in. We could park nearby.
There was nothing I didnt like.

The building is lovely and the rooms are beautifully designed with a single bed, wine, for instance. I have to mention the delicious and enjoyable breakfast with cheeses and french toast, as for instance;))

Good personnel in assisting with baggages, paid attention to every detail. The location was marvellous, so close to old istanbul and major Sultanhamet sights and minutes away from a mosque and a palace. Ate at Novas Hagiasophia, it's at a moderate distance from the venue.

It has excellent and stunning location and paid parking, and it's very close to Basilica Cistern, the blue mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazar and Spice Market and many dining options. Distance to the restaurant takes 200 metres. The rooms are extremely pleasant and newly decorated and include an electric kettle and glassware.

Perfect and magnificent location, 10 minutes' walk to a byzantine basilica museum. Found in the historic area just next door to many tourist spots, bars, restaurants and public transport with the tram, the sea side and the center of the city.

The breakfasts were delicious and enjoyable with even french toast and fresh fruit, couldn't ask for anything better. The location was peaceful, for example, a Holy mosque was a 10-15 minute walking distance from the hotel.

The room was extremely pleasant and newly decorated, with a magnificent view over marmara sea. Besides, the location was excellent and stunning for our stay, within 5 minutes' walk of an Ottoman - era Friday mosque. And we were adjacent to the centre, the main touristy attractions and Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

Everything was nice from the special service to the appetising food. The location was particularly good, approx 10-15 minutes' walk from a historic mosque. You could walk to a market and a grand bazaar. The room I was given was decent sized with balcony, good WiFi connection, as example. An electric kettle and glassware where available.
The hotel staff was not trained.
