"Великолепный сервис, уникальная локация. Мы повсюду гуляли пешком по центру и это очень удобно, когда главные исторические достопримечательности в минутах хотьбы. В шаге - рестораны и кафе. За завтраки - отдельное спасибо! Самые чудесные завтраки которые можно представить! Все кругом чисто и аккуратно. Но в комнатах было бы хорошо освежить ремонт, и тогда был бы рай 😁 А в целом мы остались очень довольны. И в следующий раз остановимся именно в этой гостинице. "

"Overall our stay at the hotel was excellent! We got the room with a balcony facing the Hagia Sophia and honestly, I don’t think you could have gotten a better view of it. Coffee was good and they provided plenty of water, which was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Bedroom slippers were good too. They provided bath towels and hand towels but I do wish face towels were provided too. I also found the shower floor a bit slippery."

"I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The staff are incredible, with a specific shout out to Salih and Sezgin. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, book us accommodations for our ride to the airport very early morning, set up the sauna, and just were so informative and pleasant to speak with. It is in a perfect location, close to all tourist attractions and public transport. Rooms and views are beautiful. The only thing I could say is that the noises from ppl in the hallways...
