The breakfast buffet was plentiful and good and the outdoor terrace was wonderful for dinner. The staff was outstanding. They stored our luggage while we took a sidetrip to Cappodocia, and went out of their way to help us find what we were looking for as far as shops, entertainment, and restaurants. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! We were in room 406 which was a corner room with windows on two walls. It was bright and cheerful. I would much rather stay in the Sultanamet area than other areas of the city due to the feel of truly being in Istanbul rather than in an area of large, modern hotels like any other large city in Europe. We walked around at night with no worry and found everyone helpful and friendly. English was spoken and we were made to feel as though we were part of a family. Great hotel.
