View from their terrace over Marmara Sea and of Blue Mosque is beautiful and they really are 5-10 minutes from Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, but make sure all the facilities in your room work as soon as you check in. We had a room on a higher floor (fourth floor), with a view of the Marmara Sea (as well... more

Stayed here for our 5th anniversary. Wonderful mid-sized hotel, very comfortable rooms and good breakfast. It was easy to get to all the major sights by foot from here however the tram line was nearby if later at night. View from the terrace was amazing and plenty of places to eat nearby. more

All the soaps and shampoos etc. We had a view overlooking the river. 5 minutes from The Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar restaurants, tramway etc. You can't go wrong! more

I was extremely impressed with the location of this hotel, it is literally 5 minutes walk from nearly everything you want to see. The rooms were fairly compact but perfect for what I wanted. The resturant had great views over the Blue Mosque and the food was good. Would definitely go back to this hotel! more

Stunning views of the Bosphorus, sunrise and sunset from the rooftop bar area and dining room. Breakfast and dinner can also be taken in the rooftop area which... more

The hotel is very, very centrally located to all Sultanahmet attractions, the Grand Bazaar and the tram to Eminonu. Enjoyed our cooked breakfasts and the great views of the Blue Mosque and Sea of Marmara from the rooftop terrace. Our... more
