Behind every monument lies a momentous story. Make your way to Serpentine Column and uncover the historical and cultural significance of this pillar.

This historic architectural piece is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Sultanahmet. But Serpent Column isn't the area's only drawcard. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace are some other interesting attractions nearby.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (86 reviews)

All were excellent. Staff, Services, Their Characters Particularly the manager Mr. Memet, Coner, Mohammed and Mrs Narmin. They were so friendley that I still remember their names. The alley where this hotel is in is a little out dated but it has nothing to do with this Hotel and their staff. Actually they are so good that you totally forget about these weak point. Totally I'd recomend this hotel if you deserve respect.
