Rooms were clean and comfortable; buffet breakfast was the best of our entire trip through Turkey. Noise factor was a problem around 6 am - next to a mosque! Otherwise, great location; tram stop right in front of hotel. Staff very friendly but short on English understanding.

I have heard that the hotel scene in Istanbul can be rather iffy. A friend who works as an Istanbul tour guide recommended this hotel to me and I have had a great stay (two nights, total).

The location couldn't be better--it is right by a tram stop (more reliable, less risky than local taxis, according to my tour guide friend). It is about a five-minute walk to the Grand Bazaar. It is also close (about three tram stops) to the Blue (Sultan Ahmed) Mosque, Roman hippodrome, and surrounding attractions.

My room is clean, large, very nicely designed, and there is no stale cigarette smell (a plus in Turkey, I think). The internet connection is fast and reliable. There's a hair-dryer and it works. There are large mirrors. Even though my room faces on to a busy street, it is quiet.

Breakfast was EXCELLENT. There's a huge selection of food--all kinds of cheese, eggs, meat, salad, fruit. The dining area is large, roomy, and modern. There's a beautifully designed bar area with lots of seating.

Staff members can mostly speak English or can quickly access someone who can and they're friendly and polite.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The location alone made this hotel a great choice - it's right near a tram stop, a short walk from the Grand Bazaar and even within walking distance of the Blue Mosque (took us about 20 minutes to walk there). The staff were very friendly and helpful, even moving us to a better room halfway through our stay (as they'd only had a room with single beds when we checked in). The buffet brekkie was good too - everything looked fresh and tasty.
As others have mentioned the Wifi can be a bit hit and miss depending on where you are in your room.

came by this hotel va group booking through a tour company, its a decent 4 star place, contemporary furnishings, friendly staff and well located for grand bazaar and the main sights, food is good and the restauarant is smartly decorated, helpful staff! what more do you need! plus the fatc it rates itself 4 satr and lives up to it. Only 20 mins from Attaturk airport a 30 TL ride
