The hotel has a great location and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I had a bad experience with the restaurant that included charging for a bottle of water, which was never supplied (the glass appeared with about 3 cm of water in it), and ice cream being served with a fork. I also did not like the birds in cages, including one that was by itself in a small cage that did not even allow it to fly.

Fantastic breakfast, location and turtles in foyer

A fabulous hotel at a great price. Staff very helpful on reception. Biscuits on bar menu super tasty. Breakfast is stunning and taken on the terrace you can see the sea and the mosques. The selection of food is great, fresh honey, from a honey comb, watermelon, tomatoes, amazing omelette, so much choice I can’t name it all. Try the dried mulberries though really nice. I so enjoyed my stay and would certainly book again if I went back. Only draw back was service slightly slow on an evening in the roof top terrace for drinks but the view is amazing so happy to wait a few minutes longer while soaking up the atmosphere. Close to blue mosque and the train to take you to the port, all most convivial.
Breakfast is amazing.
There are turtles in the foyer fountain. Really nice to see. Lovely decor in hotel generally.

Can’t decide what made this stay extra special: charming and helpful staff, luxurious sheets, funky bar, rooftop terrace with view, quiet and colorful neighborhood, lots of restaurants close by, proximity to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, historic decor? The only downers were smallish size rooms and minimal outlets
