“The staff were very helpful, arranging trips and even printing ferry schedules for the Marmara Sea. Breakfast was good with local specialities. Parking is right near the hotel. The room was very clean with a big comfortable bed. The hotel is in the Old City Center, near attractions, and the tram station (Sultanahmet) makes it easy to reach the New City Center in about 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend this hotel.”
