It is located in the heart of the historical area of Istanbul, close to the domes and minarets of the Blue Mosque, a few steps from all the historical and cultural attractions like St. Sophia, Topkapı Palace and Grand Bazaar.

Sumptuous burgundy fabrics and dark wood furniture characterize the luxurious and cosy rooms.

Guests can meet more than their expectations with the warm, relaxing athmosphere and the high class service. The restaurant on the premises, with a marvelous view over the Galata Tower and the breath taking Bosphorus, offers Turkish and International specialities.

HOTEL REVIEWS

Guest type: Not Specified

stayed in Sep 2007

As a married couple we found the hotel good. Excellent location . The room appeared to be renovated, but the double bed was a bit tired. The staff were very helpful.

stayed in May 2007

The location is just great because it is near to the key tourist spots in Stanbul. The only problem is that the hotel is not recommended to guests with children or young guests because their TV is showing triple XXX movies. My daughter was shock when she turn on the TV set and saw the X rated movies, which even adults would find it a bad taste.

Very clean hotel. Terribly noisy (I had to call reception at midnite asking them to break up 4 or 5 drunken people brawling in the corridors). Very good service by waiters at bar/bellstaff. Good location. Very tiny rooms.
