Staff were lovely and the hotel was in a convenient location. Our room was upgraded and the beds were very comfortable. If I travelled to Istanbul again I'd stay here.

Popular places to visit

Fountain of Sultan Ahmed III

Fountain of Sultan Ahmed III is just one of the places to see in Istanbul, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Stroll along the area's seaside or experience its fascinating museums.

Hagia Sophia

Once a church, then a Byzantine cathedral, later a mosque and now a monument, this iconic building is a national treasure.

Yeah!! Even I think the same - this place might be an inspiration for the "Hall of Faces"....we see in that famous HBO series.
