I guess this time of the year they do not expect anyone to put the airconditioning on , when I tried to put it on it did not come on. I did not call reception to find out why. The curtains do not cover the entire window hence it is bright in the room while sleeping. The staff were very friendly at reception, concierge and at breakfast. Very very convenient location to important must see sites in Istanbul.

Most of the things were very good like the welcoming, most of the staff, breakfast and the team at the restaurant. But the location was so hard to go up and down over the hill and main street, and the taxi plan was so unprofessional due to service and range they gave me and later it was totally different. Thank you Regards

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica cistern which is great. They have a wonderful restaurant (Micheline star). A recommendation to the hotel is to use a milder cleaning / mopping solution. We had a hard time adjusting to the strong odor from the one being used. Overall I am happy with my stay as it served the purpose.

Nice sized room with comfortable bed cleaned daily. Staff really helpful and friendly who drove us to the taxi rank when we were leaving as traffic was unable to stop outside…because we were a stone’s throw from the Hagia Sofia!! So well positioned for that and all the other main attractions. Would definitely recommend and will return in the future.
