The hotel rooms are good-sized, spotless, and come with a lovely breakfast included; almost like a honeymoon suite with rose petals on the bed. While the rooms lack storage space, everything else about the hotel easily earns it 5 stars.
Our stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were large, clean, and had a spacious balcony, perfect for my family. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to cater to our needs. The location was superb, right in the heart of historical Istanbul, making it easy to explore the main attractions. The dining experience overlooking Hagia Sophia was beyond excellent.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms are graceful without being over the top, offering a feeling of living in a bygone era.
