The hotel location was well suited. It was easy access from the main road and a walking distance to the Istanbul Metro. The Grand Bazaar and Sultan Ahmet a good liesurely 20 min walk from the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 10pm and were greeted by a very friendly bell boy and a very polite and friendly receptionist, Mr Nurdin.The hotel staff were all very friendly and caring. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable.The breakfast was nice and traditional. However I would recommend a continental menu be added to the breakfast. Overall a very pleasant, warm and comfortable stay at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel to visitors to Istanbul.
