Location Excellent; however, upon entering the room, we were overwhelmed with the odor of sewage. This continued for our 2 night stay. Upon further inspection of all plumbing in the bathroom, we realized the sink was installed without a pee trap. The odor is believed to have been coming from the sink

Staff was fantastic. Rooms were very nice and comfortable with great amenities. Also the Cappuccino in the hotel was the best in the immediate area. Quite nice, and convenient. We also enjoyed waking up to the call to prayer each morning ( a bit earlier than we would have liked, and the first morning it caught us off guard... but quite nice once we got used to it) Far better than an harsh Alarm Clock.

I was a little bit disappointed with this stay. I booked two room types, one is a standard room and the other is a twin room, which are in different buildings, but because the structure of the house should be wooden and the windows are not well sealed or double laies, the 2 rooms windows face the railway tracks. It was very very noisy every day especially at night because the trains passed by almost every 5 minutes (and rang the bells). During the day, we were very busy traveling around, so I didn't report this to the front desk. If you are a very sensitive sleeper, please don't consider this hotel or make sure that the windows don't face the railway tracks. Although, this is indeed unavoidable, after all, its location is excellent, right next to the Hagia Sophia Mosque, which can save a lot of time, and its house foundation is also very old, so I can fully understand. The hotel's Turkish breakfast is worth trying, with a variety of varieties and good taste. (I have lived in Turkey for more than 1 year), the service staff is very friendly, and the hotel facilities are actually well maintained. Their historical jacuzzi pool is highly recommended, my children had a lot of fun, 40 minutes is about 60-70 euros, this is an additional payment, if you are a family with children, it is recommended because it is private for 40 minutes.

Located right at the key sites of Hagia Sofia Grand Mosque, Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), Topkapi, making it wasy to get there before lines form. If you like walking, its easy walking distance to sites such as Grand Bazaaar, Spice Market, pedestrain bridge. Felt very safe walking in this area. Breakfasts were delicious and abundant. Also, the Sarnic Restaurant was really fun with the Turkish dancing in a beautiful Cistern, and good food. Book for 7:30 or so, as dancing starts at 9.

There’s a lot to like about this hotel. The location in the tourist district is hard to beat. It’s so central and convenient. That is beaten however by the staff who are superb. Friendly , attentive and very helpful. The rooms are interesting, a good sized and not corporate at all. Only real downside is the set up - as some of the rooms are in separate buildings on a quite walking street there is far more noise than you get in a traditional hotel - people are literally walking right below your bedroom window. If that’s not a problem this hotel may well be for you

Room - Spacious and luxurious. The photos are accurate. It feels more like an upscale apartment than a hotel room. The bathroom was beautiful and modern. The whole unit received a lot of natural light. Hotel and Restaurant - The lobby is beautifully furnished, and the landscaping is beautiful, full of trees and bushes that emphasize the Mediterranean vibe. We stayed at the part that had the Sofia Garden restaurant. The food is delicious but expensive, and service is slow and surprisingly inexperienced. For breakfast, the Sofia Terrace serves a broad and delicious Turkish breakfast buffet. The live music was charming, a singer strumming a guitar, playing classic songs from around the world. It's worth getting a balcony room so you can hear it from your balcony. Spa - Reserve ahead for the cistern jacuzzi. We tried last minute but weren't able to get a spot. Service - Next level. The two desk people, Olga and Aren, made sure to make us welcome and comfortable. They were friendly with the kids as well, helping them feel welcome. There were also niceties, like welcome snacks that weren't packaged, but prepared, like a walnut in a fresh fig. Location - Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, or Grand Bazaar. (Note that the walk is not so accessible, it's cobblestone hills.) It was also easy to see a whirling dervish show. We were also able to take the tram back to the cruise port. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Istanbul.
