The hotel was situated within walking distance of major attractions in the old city district. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and included balconies with pleasant views. Staff members were kind, accommodating, and professional throughout the stay. Breakfast was served next door at a nearby hotel and featured a delicious spread enjoyed on a rooftop terrace overlooking the Bosphorus.
