Great view.
Rooftop restaurant has wonderful view, friendly staff. Food was great. Check in was slow and there was a lot of confusion over matching the names to room reservations. Once settled, room was comfortable. We would stay again.

Excellent Hotel to stay at. Friendly staff and great service. Room is spacious for a couple and we would definitely recommend an ocean side room for spectacular views. Lovely terrace where one can enjoy the istanbul skyline and admire the Blue Mosque and have an enjoyable turkish breakfast. Will be back on our next visit

This charming hotel was a perfect place from which to explore Sultanahmet. I loved the older charm and authentic decor. The rooftop has amazing views of both the Bosphorus Strait and the Hagia Sophia.
