Great place to stay! Very Clean, close to everything. The restaurant attached was an excellent choice for dinner. The hotel was close to everything, from the port to shopping, sightseeing, and the Blue as well as the Brown Mosques. I highly recommend!

The hotel was very communicative from the moment we booked. Our room was spacious and in nice condition (we chose a King Suite). The gent at reception recommended and organised Turkish bath and boat cruise for us (which we would normally do independently). The restaurant downstairs is very convenient and the 20% off was appreciated. Breakfast was varied each day and the gent serving tea and coffee was very friendly. Few minutes walk to the big mosques and tram stops, as well as the waterfront. Few watchouts : 1, the private indoor hot tub is a bath, 2, the restaurant will charge £8ish for olives and bread whether you touch the olives or not (bread was too yummy to leave!) And 3, the Turkish bath was very naked for women, not for men (previously i have worn swimmies). Istanbul is fabulous and has many different districts worth a tram ride. We had an amazing visit. Last thank you to Senatus - we had an illness incident in the night and they were very helpful! Good to have 24H reception!

The room is too small and smelly. One staff was too rude during our stay. They did not clean the room even after requesting couple of times. I would not recommend anyone for this hotel. This hotel should not be a four stars, may be equivalent to motel 6 here in US.

Staff were super accommodating from the moment we booked our stay. They almost immediately reached out to let us know they could help arrange airport transfers(for a reasonable cost) as well as help with any kind of tour bookings or excursions. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. Location was perfecr, lots of historical sights nearby and lots of late night food and drink options. Our group had such a good experience, and I can't emphasize enough how accommodating the staff were. They definitely showed us the true definition of Turkish hospitality even before our stay. Id also like to ad that some of the Tout's in the area can be VERY pushy(this is to be expected if you want to stay within close proximity to the historical sites), but the area in front of the hotel and attached restaraunt youll have breakfast at are a hassle free zone, and they make a point of enforcing it. They offer hookah as well. We had an early morning flight(before restaraunt opened), and the kind gentleman at the front desk even made sure we had sandwhiches to go since we'd be missing the complimentary breakfast when we got on our shuttle to the airport Overall, finding this place was such a blessing for us. We booked last minute after canceling our reservation at ciragan palace due to some last minute emergency vet bills and life events, and the location, service, and price really couldnt be beat.
