Excellent, staff very attentive. Breakfast fantastic. Only downside was The London Pub on the premises. Great building but very few customers and no atmosphere. Hardly surprising at their inflated prices. Half the prices, advertise, fill the place up and it would be a great venue.

Near tourist attractions (easy to walk everywhere). Safe area. Tram about 100 meters from hotel if needed and each trip about 20cents AUS. Staff at desk helpful for all booking and advise. Only thing to note is the pool was very cold. Breakfast great selection and worth paying. Bottled water every day in room and plenty in foyer to take on outings. Fabulous stay. Locals also very friendly and helpfully with directions while out of hotel. Highly recommended coming to Istanbul for a holiday.

Lovely friendly staff and a great location within a ten min walk of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Basilica Cistern. Our sea view room was spacious enough for a city break & very clean with good facilities although bathroom a little tired looking. The breakfast room and choice of food is excellent. Avoid the bar if you want to save money as drinks are extremely expensive. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again 🙂
