9/10 Wonderful! (1,552 reviews)
Extremely friendly, helpful and accomodatig staff. The breakfast was spectacular and tasty. We arrived early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary early check in and breakfast! Our room had a lot of space and very interesting decor. The roof top terrace, where we had an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, had a breathtaking view on the sea and a city. I would consider this hotel for our next time in Istanbul.

Jun 28, 2019Food is excellent in Istanbul. Stay away from hotel staff recommandations, you end up paying a lot more for less. Sultan Ahmet fish house is a must, great food and service, All the old Mosques are a piece of art, TopKapi is a must visit. Several malls to choose from, from middle of the road to the best name brands. Grand Bazar is an experience not to be missed.
