I spent four nights here of which three nights were spent attending football matches, and involved much use of the public transport system , but during the day, within a very short walk you will find top class attractions such as the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia to name just some. The Staff are really friendly and helpful , the hotel is lovely and cosy, with spotlessly clean rooms and a nice traditional Turkish breakfast to start off your days of exploring, there are several nice restaurants in the vicinity and no way you are going hungry, if you want to stay local. Excellent service for great value , look forward to my next visit , Alec from England
