Alina from Romania (10/10)
It was excellent! We stayed here în January 2025 and we couldn't have chosen a better hotel!
The rooms were very clean and smelled wonderful, the bathroom was impecable and felt cosy,, the view was amazing, we could see the sea.
The staff was very kind and helpful, the room was cleaned and the towels were changed and supplies were provided ( shower gel, shampoo).
The breakfast was delicious and you could have coffee and tea all day beside the two periods of snacks offered by the hotel, one around noon (12.30-14) and one în the afternoon (17.30-19).. Just imagine, coming from a long day shopping or sightseeing and knowing that you can have a hot tea or a coffee to get back and visit some more!
The location of the hotel is closer to Sultanahmet Square and you have the best option of terraces and restaurants.
We thank the manager and the staff for our experience at the hotel, we will definetely come back again!Cintia from Brazil (10/10)
