“What strikes me most is the rooftop terrace, where the Bosphorus unfolds in one direction and a pair of mosques punctuate the hillside in another. The location is ideal for immersing oneself in the Sultanahmet district, yet the hotel itself maintains a sense of calm and effective safety protocols. I appreciate that the decor nods to Istanbul's history, giving a sense of place.”

rooftop terrace delicious breakfast friendly staff
The rooftop terrace has very nice views. You see the sea and the Blue Mosque. Breakfast was super good with many choices, so delicious. The staff works so hard and are nice.
The sound insulation was poor, so I hear noises from the street at night.

Acceptable Stay with Some Shortcomings
lower floor room inadequate soundproofing
The room I was assigned was disappointing. It was located on a lower floor and lacked natural light. the soundproofing was inadequate. Street noise was quite audible at night, and this disturbed my sleep.
