“What struck me most is the staff's dedication; they clearly prioritize guest comfort, which elevates the experience beyond the hotel's 3-star rating. The location places you squarely in the Old City, steps from landmarks like Hagia Sophia, with the bonus of sea views and a lively restaurant scene right outside. While not a large chain, it authentically captures the spirit of Istanbul, particularly for families seeking a genuine and convenient base.”
