The property was extremely clean and the bed was very confortable. I absolutely loved the location and the staff. I recommend this hotel if you want a walkable place and great for shopping and sightseeing. The breakfast was good but not my priority. Therefore, I dont make my decision based on that..

Magnaura has excellent location. However, it is not as grand as it looks in the photos. It has a small lobby and front. The front desk staff were helpful and pleasant. However, the owner who works at the breakfast restaurant was very unfriendly every morning.He didn’t greet or acknowledge us when we said good morning. We asked what the food were as the food had no labels. He seemed annoyed and didn’t appreciate our business. I would not recommend this place as we didn’t feel welcome. We stayed for 4 nights and we couldn’t wait to leave so we didn’t have to see him again. When we go on vacation, we always look forward to our hotel breakfast. He ruined the experience for us.

Magnaura hotel has the best Hosts. They speak English. Item is a tour guide. There service including hospitality is excellent. Nursi is a real gem. Item also and of course Ali. The breakfast buffet had more food then you could possibly eat. Dinner on the Terrace also very good. Location is unbeatable and bus to airport not even a block away. Metro also. Rd to this property is located between Sophia Hagia and the Blue Mosque. Excellent price to stay. Cant say enough. This should be your choice. You will not be disappointed. Only setback is one elevator and steps. If you can't walk...suggest a new place and Istanbul should not be a place to visit.

Great hotel

We were very satisfied with our stay. Hotel is very close to major attractions. Very clean, good breakfast. And the restaurant has a nice view! Staff were very friendly and ready to help. Specifically thanks for letting us checked in earlier, we were very tired after a long trip. We had a very early flight home, the driver they provided was waiting for us when we checked out. They even brought breakfast to our room at 4:45am. Highly recommended this hotel if you visit Istanbul.
