We had a wonderful week in Istanbul, this hotel had a big part in it. Our room (std 2p) was small but cozy, so not a problem for me, room was squeaky clean. Good breakfast and personnel was so nice! Special thanks to Gözde from reception, she helped us SO much from day 1, arranging things, giving us directions and advice and tips on which places to go and which to avoid. And she was sooo friendly! Lots of attractions in walking distance: Blue mosque, Aya Sofia, Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace. Everything else is easily reachable by tram (tram station walking distance). There are SO many restaurants and cafes around the hotel, that was great. Personnel standing in front of these restaurants always try to lure you in, this can be annoying. Also good to keep in mind, there are a LOT of stray dogs around (also in Istanbul in general), good to know for people who are scared of them. However they are mostly very harmless. All in all, we had an amazing week and we can definitely recommend this hotel!
