The hotel is the ideal location to visit Istanbul. Just few minutes (3 min. by foot) from Agya Sofia. The area is full of nice restaurants (the hotel has its own too). The room was brand new and clean. The crew was alwayd kind and ready to satisfy my requests. I totally recommend it if you visit Istanbul as a tourist.
