The hotel has a truly great location right in the heart of Sultanahmet, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean, with a lovely terrace view of the Bosphorus, though the service could improve in responsiveness. Dining was decent, especially having breakfast with a view, but I expected a bit more variety. Overall, it offers good value for money despite a few minor issues.
