We spent 4 days in Istanbul at the start of a Turkish vacation. We could not have found a better hotel. Great breakfast buffet; wonderful, comfortable rooms; friendly, helpful service. We were able to walk to many places or take the tram.

The hotel had several decorative tiles which were breathtaking. We enjoyed drinks on... More
