Lovely Hotel Experience!

modern comforthandmade detailsspacious accommodation
The room design blends Ottoman style and modern comfort. Interiors feature handmade details. The room was super clean. It provided spacious accommodation, also every amenity was there. The breakfast offered diverse, high-quality local and international dishes. Everything was fresh, also beautifully presented. Staff prepared gluten-free crepes for my daughter.
The hotel is in a congested area. Entering or leaving can be difficult due to heavy traffic.

Really good Comfort in Sultanahmet

really good servicelarge roomspa facilitiesbreakfast options
The staff provided really good service. They went the extra mile to accommodate my needs. My room was quite large and the bathroom included beautiful fixtures, like a rainfall shower. I took advantage of the spa facilities downstairs and enjoyed time in the pool after a steam. Breakfast had many options and I really enjoyed the french toast.
The taxi access to the hotel was a little difficult at times due to the busy street.
