Pictures were deceiving. We booked the family suite. It was tiny. Could barely walk around the bed. The bathroom was so small we had to dress/undress one by one in the extra small bedroom .heat and ac not working despite multiple calls to front desk. Front desk staff do not speak english and know nothing of the area. Breafast buffet was a joke. Do not stay at this hotel.

The area is close to main attractions. Gloria jeans manager was welcoming. The guide supplied by the hotel, Murat, was fabulous. He was extremely knowledgeable and very kind as he stayed with us until the queues had lessened after 6 o’clock so that we could visit the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque even though we started at 10 am.

Grest location and price
Pleasantly surprised! Aftet reading some bad reviews I expected the worst. Yes, this hotel is on a tramline but it is an amazing location! Yes the taxi's cannot drop you out the front but the side streets are literally a 50mtr walk! The staff in reception were very helpful, the breakfast had a good variety, the room was very comfortable and clean, the indoor pool was lovely. In comparison to other hotels it was great value for money. Would definitely recommend based on location, price and comfort 👌
