I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the heart of Istanbul. The rooms were cleaned daily and had a comfortable double bed. The service was exceptional, offering various amenities like room service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the main tourist sites in the historical peninsula, including the Blue Mosque. However, the dining only offered Indonesian food, limiting the options. The overall value for money was reasonable, considering the convenient location and excellent service.

I just loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were always clean and had a cozy double bed. The service was exceptional, providing room service and other convenient amenities. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Istanbul and just uphill to the grand bazaar, making it super easy to get around with a quick taxi ride. The dining experience with local products was a delightful touch. However, the price was a bit high for the value offered. Overall, a great experience!

The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul, offering a convenient position close to the Grand Bazaar. The rooms feature double beds and are cleaned daily, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service includes a range of amenities like room service, car hire, and laundry. However, the dining options are limited to smoked meat. The facilities meet basic needs but lack variety. The price is rational for the central location.
