Chose this place because of proximity to the marathon finish line (couldn’t be better). But we were very happy with the room, which was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff was top notch.

I have stayed in this hotel perhaps 10 to 15 times since 1998. It was my favorite place in Istanbul. Its location is stunning, right on the corner of the Hippodrome, a short block from the Blue Mosque and so much more. The staff is friendly and helpful, though the level of English much less now than before. The rooms are small but comfortable.

Ideal location close to the main interwst sites of Istanbul, with large offers for dining, shopping and walking. The hotel is small but well furnished and equipped. The staff is very friendly and dedicated to the good stay of the clients.Highly recommendable.
