The location of the hotel is perfect for tourists looking to really take in all the sites that Istanbul has to offer. The place is a short walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc and the staff are very knowledgeable about fair taxi prices and good places to eat. The room was amazing with a great view and plenty of room. The whole place is clean and very welcoming. After being in Europe for over 2 months I can definitely say that this place has been my favorite place to stay by far.
