Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised when I got upgraded to a quiet suite with a terrace, offering a lovely experience. However, the room could use some revamping and had an off-the-wall decor that didn't quite match my taste.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean in the 'annex' with a size of 18 m2 and a terrace, though the street noise was quite disturbing. The service was truly phenomenal and catered to all my needs. The location was excellent, close to historical sights and with a very kind and respectful hotel crew. The dining was okay but could be more diverse, and the facilities met my expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though with a view of the Blue Mosque and the Bosporus Strait, would get a little warm and felt smaller than expected, with some wallpaper peeling off due to dampness issues. The service provided by the staff, especially Atiallah and Nurcan, was incredibly helpful and hospitable. The location was convenient for exploring Istanbul by foot, close to transportation stations and major attractions. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options that could be improved for better satisfaction.
