Our stay was extremely conveniently positioned for many of the major sites. It meant we could easily walk to them but also to the the tram stop that would get you about very easily. We travelled across the bridge a few times and also down to the ferries. A short walk away are plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops of all types, standard and prices. There are alot of beautiful roof top bars/restaurants to visit which makes the most of the great views across the Bosphorus. The hotel is a local style and room could be considered as a little basic but it had good WiFi, air conditioning and a modern and good standard of bathroom was appreciated with plenty of soap/shampoo/lovely clean towels etc daily. It was extremely clean and tidy. The breakfast had the most enormous choice of food. It is quite a local style and might not be to everyone’s taste but it did have fresh fruit and vegetables as well as hot eggs/sausage and local cakes! The juices were interesting and the minted water was really great! The service at the reception was outstanding. Very helpful and checked us in at 0100 with a smile. We spent four happy days there.
