This hotel is right in the heart of Sultanahmet (5 mins from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Grand Bazaar). Breakfast is great. Very reasonable price. The staff are some of the sweetest and kindest people you'll meet in Istanbul! If you end up staying here, be sure to talk to Turan (great communication skills and very knowledgeable), Birol (very nice... More

It is also not far to the water front and main tourist areas. Our stay was very pleasant, the rooms are clean and the staff... More
