missingWrote a review on 30 Novfriendly staffdelightful breakfastcozy loungestreet noise
Super friendly staff who were really accommodating! It’s super close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast was delightful, notably the Sirt specialties every morning. Quite a cozy bar/lounge area available, too.
Sometimes street noise disrupted our sleep.

It was just a strong match for a brief retreat in Istanbul with real value for money. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with directions and recommendations. Try to get breakfast early for a better selection.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience for our family of seven! The location was ideal, just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia. The staff always greeted us with smiles and even surprised the kids with warm milk at breakfast.
In my wife’s opinion, a childcare option would be fantastic.

Family with children spot
Location is the best part. We walked to the Blue Mosque and even to the Bosporous for a boat ride with the kids in no time. Breakfast was a nice spread, especially the scrambled eggs, which the kids loved. , like they knew how to handle families without being pushy. On the last day, we had early checkout, and they left us sandwiches and fruit in the room. That was a nice touch.
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but you know sometimes you gotta pay for quality.

The highlight of the experience was the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, who were eager to meet every request and made sure I felt at home. The convenient location allowed easy access to major attractions, making sightseeing effortless. However, there were some downsides. the Wi-Fi connection was inconsistent, and the pricing felt a bit high compared to other options. The breakfast was decent but could improve in variety.

We had a wonderful stay with very clean rooms and delicious dinners at the restaurant, which we enjoyed every evening. The hotel also had cozy lounge areas and a game room that helped us unwind after busy days exploring. The only downside was some street noise, but it didn't really ruin our time at all! 😊
