Reviews
Elena from Romania (8/10)
When we arrived at the hotel with my family, we were greeted by the friendly staff, we checked in, we got a car park as we came by car, it was safe and reasonably priced close to the hotel, then we walked around the history, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Hagia Shopia and Bluemousque Topkapi Palace. First day, second day, Eminönü, we took a Bosphorus tour by ferry from there, Galata Tower and Taksim. We traveled around, we had a lot of fun, we were going to visit many more places, time was not enough, next time on our trip now

Aurelia from Italy (9/10)
The owner was very polite and helpful. I asked him to book a taxi for the next day (meeting at 3.30 am!), the taxi was punctual and I paid the agreed price.
