We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of May. Our room 106 was on the ground floor with a sea view and a lovely balcony to sit out on. Room is on the small size but perfect for the short stay. Traffic was a bit noisy but didn't disturb us that much. Reception staff were very helpfull with... More

This may i had a decent experience with this hotel. Rooms are very small, the breakfast is not bad but for sure can be much better but the upside is the position, the cleanness of the room and the helpful stuff. The price on their resto and bar is quite high against the hotel. And like everywhere, best western hotel... More

A big plus is the free pick up from the airport, if you book through Best Western or Booking.com. Just email your details to the hotel after making your reservation. If the driver doesn’t appear (!), you can ring the hotel for free from the public service telephone on the Post Office counter situated on the concourse. You’ll then be... More

While in college 35 years ago, I minored in Art History. I studied Byzantine Art and sat through many awe inspiring hours of slides depicting the Hagia Sophia and Chora Church. Sitting in that dark lecture hall I prayed that one day I would see the Hagia Sophia with my own eyes. March 20, 2013 my dream came true. It... More

Tip: book through the hotel website (not through a third party site) and negotiate perks like a free transfer from the airport. The hotel was very good about matching prices. We recently spent five nights in this hotel. The hotel was generally fine but we did experience some major problems which were all related to ventilation in the room. We... More

Fairly decent small hotel under management of Best Western....... Pro's - on Sea-side, good and courteous staffs, walking distance to blue mosque, aya sofiya - old Turkey City. Cons - Bit overpriced, on road side so can get bit noisier at times.

Stayed last weekend for 2 nights. Have been to Istanbul many times before and stayed at grander hotels, however the staff and atmosphere was very cosy. Excellent location close to all main attractions and restaurants. Wonderful breakfast in hotel restaurant. Only downside was that my 'standard single' was very small with only a shower and no bath. The promised repair... More

I visited Istanbul with my family and stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. The service was excellent, very responsive staff, a great breakfast, a wonderful view if Marmara sea and a perfect location in the heart of the historic location of Sultanahmet. Rooms are quite small so dont take much luggage.
