Great hotel

We were very satisfied with our stay. Hotel is very close to major attractions. Very clean, good breakfast. And the restaurant has a nice view! Staff were very friendly and ready to help. Specifically thanks for letting us checked in earlier, we were very tired after a long trip. We had a very early flight home, the driver they provided was waiting for us when we checked out. They even brought breakfast to our room at 4:45am. Highly recommended this hotel if you visit Istanbul.

Wonderful hotel with excellent service and roof top breakfast. It was worth spending extra for room to get updated room with larger shower. Comfy bed.

The Magnaura Palace Hotel

This hotel was perfect for my friend and I. The entire staff was professional, warm and friendly and especially helpful. Their recommendations for tours and places to see was great advice! Although a very busy and tourist-packed area, the location is perfect for first-time visitors like us, who wanted to see the ancient places. We hired a private guide through the hotel who was very knowledgeable and informative. The hotel also arranged rides for us, made reservations and educated us on public transportation, which is by very good in Istanbul, and very inexpensive. The inclusive breakfast is wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant was very good with many menu choices, great service, and beautiful view of the Golden Horn and Bosphorus.

I cant say enough great things about this hotel. The staff consistently goes abovecand beyond. The breakfast every bmorning was just right with lots of options. The view from the dining room and the roof area are both amazing. The room is comfortable and thI'm)

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.

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

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.

Earl, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved everything about this hotel. It’s an amazing location for seeing the sights, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are all really helpful and very friendly. The rooftop terrace is lovely and the views from the breakfast room are fabulous, Blue Mosque in one direction, Hagia Sophia in the other and the water from the front. The breakfast itself was wonderful, so much choice and all so fresh. Loved it. The same room is the restaurant/ bar on an evening. The food is great and again the service is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

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.
