After initially having a spot of trouble with the taxi driver finding the hotel, we finally arrived to a warm welcome from 'Erol' (I think that's how you spell it)!
He was great and greeted us with coffee, before showing us to our room- he always made us feel at ease in the hotel!
The location is great- just up the road from the Hagia Sofia, blue mosque, and basilica cistern. It's also close to Constantine's column, and walking distance to many other of the main attractions on the European side of Istanbul. The hotel is close to some restaurants, and a couple of shops- but more are easily found just a short walk away.
Nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff, and Erol helped us locate ourselves and book a transfer to the airport.
Overall, a great experience that allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday!
Thank you!
