The hotel was located in the old city close to the major sites. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was nice with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. Turkish breakfast was good with a wide range of foods. Breakfast is in the rooftop restaurant with a great view of the Bosphorus. Would highly recommend. Would stay here again.
