This was the best turkey hotel yet! The hospitality was next level, they were so accommodating we had an extra person and they readjusted and gave us a bigger room! Booked us the hamam and helped with airport pickup and drop off
Great property located in the very heart of Istanbul. Beautiful views, accommodating service and tasty breakfast! Be sure to stay in the rooms with balcony in order to marvel at the magnificent St. Sophia
