Fantastic hotel with beautiful views
The hotel and its staff are amazing. They helped with questions and requests with a pleasant manner. The hotel is in a GREAT location. You get beautiful views of the ocean off the deck, the garden out front is relaxing and has the most incredible view of the Blue Mosque in the evenings. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located right behind the Blue Mosque, making it very close and offering a beautiful view.
The hotel was very quiet and clean, and the staff were extremely friendly.
The breakfast is acceptable as long as you don’t have high expectations.
I highly recommend this place if you're looking for accommodation in Istanbul.

The location is perfect, next to the Blue Mosque and if you have a Sea View it is fantastic to watch the sunset.
Plenty of good food nearby too and public transport is about a 10 minute walk.
