This hotel is classy. The rooms are luxurious and the breakfast is wonderful. Be aware that it's an old building that would not be accessible to people with disabilities. If that's not an issue for you, it's very nice and close to the main sights.

The location was excellent in terms of closeness to the Hagia Sophia and other sites. However, our room and bathroom were very outdated. Also, it was right by the tramway tracks, so the train noise and calls to prayer from the Hagia Sophia made it tough to sleep through the night.

Best stay ever!

It was the best choice I made. It was 8 of us! The hotel is located in a great location, you can walk to various facilities nearby. The service was very nice, especially Sevgi who served us at breakfast, she is an incredibly beautiful soul. Breakfast with relaxing music and a beautiful view. And the almond soup we had for lunch is worth recommending. If I ever come back to Istanbul, I will definitely come back to this hotel.
