I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, primarily thanks to the exceptional service provided by the staff and the ideal location just a stone's throw from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The family suite we stayed in was not only spacious but also equipped with all the necessary amenities. However, there was a bit of noise from the nearby bars during the nights, which detracted slightly from the experience. Overall, it felt like great value for money considering the level of service and comfort.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which is ideally located within walking distance of major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The service was exceptional, with staff willing to assist with anything I needed. I particularly enjoyed the variety of breakfast options each morning. However, the room itself could have been a bit larger for my liking, and while the hotel has great amenities, I would've loved to see more spa services available. Overall, it offered great value for money, making it a place I would definitely return to.
