9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
I had a wonderful stay at this small charming old hotel in Istanbul. It's perfectly located within walking distance of old Istanbul with stunning water views. The hotel is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are incredibly helpful and make you feel right at home. The only downside is no parking.
Overall , a great choice and highly recommended!
