After I arrived at the hotel, they kindly guided me to a recommended restaurant nearby, which turned out to be a lovely choice. They also showed me a great nearby spot to enjoy the night view. The location is excellent—major attractions such as Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia are just steps away. This made sightseeing very efficient and convenient. While there were a few facility-related issues, such as some noise from the hallway and hot water stopping temporarily, the overall experience more than made up for them. The staff consistently checked in on me and made sure I was comfortable, which I truly appreciated. ##### AKANE Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camille Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ali was wonderful!
