The location and service are 1st rate. You will not find a better location or a nice group of people. If you are going to Istanbul, this is just steps away from every major site that Istanbul has to offer.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was in a great location right by the main attractions in Old Town. Rooms were nice but the bathroom door was sheer and so the light poured into the entire room. And the shower door would not close fully so water got everywhere. Since taxis can’t come down direct to the hotel, it was somewhat confusing for some drivers, but a quick 3 minute walk to another stop was no issue. Staff was extremely attentive though and very helpful.
