10/10 Exceptional

The Magnura Palace Hotel - a great place to stay.

The Magnaura Palace Hotel is ideally placed in Sultanamet and an easy walk of the main attractions - the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sohia. The room had amazing views of the Bosphorous and its constant shipping traffic. The staff at the hotel were wonderful - all spoke great English and were helpful at all times. The room was well equipped and the bed comfortable. Perhaps the only criticism was of the hot water - the heat tended to diminish as the day wore on making an evening shower somewhat an in/out experience. Breakfast was good with a range of products one would expect to find. We did not dine in so are unable to comment. Overall, we have no hezitation in recommending the Magnura Palace as a great place to stay.
Allan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is the excellent and the best feature of the hotel. You are steps from the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi and the Grand Bazzar. You can see the Bosphorus from the rooms and get a full view of it from the breakfast room. Rooms and amenities are standard, but the location is great.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is close to all the important spots and also near a great Turkish Bath which has been operating for over 500 years. The mosques are nearby, and the Grand Bazaar and the Catles are all within walking distance. It is a very safe area at night to walk around in, and it has lots of good dining choices.

Second Stay

We stayed here 5 1/2 years ago. We enjoyed our stay so we rebooked it for this trip. If anything, it has even gotten better. The staff is quite anxious to please. The hotel has been maintained well plus they’ve added a deck on top with some fantastic views of the area. The location of this hotel could not be any better for seeing sites of the old city. I highly recommend it. Fantastic staff from the front desk, to the Bellman, to the cleaning crew.
