“It's hard to fault a place where a rooftop breakfast comes with views of the Marmara Sea, and where a traditional Turkish bath is part of the deal. What struck me most was the location, making the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia genuinely walkable. For a family looking to explore Istanbul's cultural heart, while enjoying a bit of pampering, this hotel lands well.”
