Hotel personnel was very polite and went out of their way to help our trip, even lending a scale to organize the bags, scheduling Covid PCR tests. The hotel was very clean, with small but very clean, modern and organized rooms. The area nearby is very close to museums and national monuments and very pleasant to walk. We went to Capadocia and returned for one extra final night there.

This hotel is EXCEPTIONAL. I would have given it five stars but its location puts you right in the middle of a bunch of restaurants that hassle you for their business so I can't go higher than four stars because that made my overall visit unpleasant. Also, be really careful booking this hotel through Travelocity as we were promised a suite with two pull outs and a queen size bed (this suite comes with a separate room as a sitting area) and we got a king size room with one pull out that had no separate room as a sitting area. As Travelocity states, your reservation is based on availability, but I don't like paying for a room I don't get even though I still get a deal on the package.

Great Hotel

One of the great hotels my family have stayed at. Spacious room and bathroom,delicious Turkish continental breakfast everyday. Very close to Sultanhamet area where all the historical sights are,about 5 - 10 minutes walk.Tram station to other sightseeing including the Grand Bazaar is nearby (Ataturk airport are also accessible through this tram).Modern amenities ,clean and nice decor in the room and also at the breakfast room.Location is safe and quiet.Just outside the hotel are a lot of restaurants and shops to choose from.And finally this hotel is great because of all the staff lead by Neco and Hugo at the front desk, housekeeping and server at the breakfast room,very hospitable, polite and kind people. Would definitely come back to Istanbul and stay again at this hotel in the future. Thank you guys for making our vacation a memorable one.
