"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."

"The Staff was amazing. Every morning the manager (Samir) would greet us, ask what our plans were and offer helpful advice. (reminding us the Grande Bazar was closed on Sundays, what time Friday prayers were if we planned to visit the Mosques) He also showed us a very unique display down the street that was no advertised and it was free. Samir and his staff made sure we got taxi's for our departure, confirmed pick up for one of our tours, and offered suggestions to us. Samir was so hospitable...
