  • Milan from Serbia (8/10)

    Awesome property located near Istanbul's main attractions – Hagia Sophia, Topkapi, Basilica Cistern.

    Also, Raymond hotel is located in the heart of old Istanbul, with plenty of restaurants nearby. It also offers its own Luco restaurant with beautiful rooftop views.

    Breakfast is rich and tasty, the staff is friendly and totally helpful with anything you need. The room we stayed in, though older, was charming and had everything we needed.

    Really great stay, I would book a room here again for sure.
