Perfect location

Pros: As above
Cons: Nothing
Location: Perfect location and heaps to do
Where to start.......Couldn't have picked a better location. Practically on the tram line. A little noisy to start with as our room was at the front of the hotel but pretty much got used to it. Very close to Big Blue Mosque and walking distance to waterfront and grand bizarre. Heaps to do in and around the old town. Hotel staff very helpful and nothing is too much, very friendly too. Breakfast great with added bonus of champagne if that's your cup of tea ;-) Can't wait to go back. Would defo recommend to friends and family

Great hotel.

Next to Hagia Sophia and central for everything in Sultanahmet, makes a great base for sightseeing. Only complaint, room a bit small but having said that the room was well appointed but watch the solid corners on the bed. Staff great and very helpful.

Zentrale Lage

Pros: Das Personal ist sehr hervorkommend und super nett. Wirklich ein Top Team.
Cons: Im Zimmer am Bett fehlen Steckdosen.Es ist eine auf dem Schreibtisch verfügbar. Schlecht für aufladen von Handy, tablets etc. wenn zwei aufladen.
Wir haben 4 Nächte im Februar Übernachtet. Hotel sehr schick eingerichtet. Für einfache übernachtungen ist es sehr gut. Das Frühstück hat mir auch sehr gefallen mann musste nicht andauernd aufstehen. Es war fast vollservice. Alle angestellten haben sich wirklich so bemüht, das man sich nicht fremd fühlt. Leider war ein Fehler im Bad, welches nicht behoben worden ist, obwohl wir es gemeldet haben. Das Bad ist vielleicht nicht für jedermann, da man die Tür nicht wirklich abschließen kann und weil man von außen rein schauen kann . Aber wie gesagt, das ist meine persönliche Meinung. Ansonten ok.

Super Hotel nähe Sehenswürdigkeiten

Wir waren 5 Tage und wir waren sehr begeistert. Hotel Rezeption alle waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Service und Frühstück Hervorragend. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten kann man zu Fuss erreichen, z.B. blaue Moschee, grosser Bazar, Topkapi Palast. Wir können dieses Hotel nur weiterempfehlen. Es gibt kein besseres Hotel, super Lage.
