Paid in advance for first night accommodation only to find on arrival that they had overbooked the hotel. They are affiliated with a rather grim hotel down the block where we were led. The rooms in hotel b were not even close to being comparable. Spent the night then relocated to the Tan Hotel (Great by the way!!!). Pretty poor... more

Extremely courteous and helpful staff and Front desk Manager Pinar was very helpful in guiding us in the right direction to the places of interest which were fortunately all within walking distance. more

This hotel must be about the best location in Istanbul. For breakfast you sit on a terrace with close up views of both the Aghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Through the bar there's another terrace with views over the Bosphorous and on the roof a sitting area with 360deg views of the whole of Istanbul. Our room was pleasant... more

There wasn't... more

Hotel is located perfectly, just between St. Sophia and Blue Mosque, close to Topkapi Palace, Basilique Cistern and tram station. Breakfast is serving on the roof with amazing view at St. Sophia, Blue Mosque & Marmara sea. The choice... more

Walls are thin as we weren't talking loudly and people in the next room could hear the noise. If looking for a basic hotel, with... more
