First and foremost....the location was fabulous! A quick little walk (maybe a minute) and you are right there in the Grand Bazaar. Everything we had on our list to go and see or do in Istanbul was in walking distance from this hotel. We did not take one taxi ride or any alternate forms of transportation. We walked everywhere (and... more

We stayed here on the second leg of our honeymoon, flying on from Athens into Istanbul. We had a superb hotel there and had we not experienced that we would have thought this was great.
