I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a 10-minute walk to the Sultanahmet area and minutes from a lovely promenade by the Marmara Sea. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to assist with recommendations and bookings. Each morning, I enjoyed a delicious breakfast with fresh fruits and cheeses, all served in a clean and welcoming environment.
