The most beautiful hotel in Istanbul. We got the suite with water views and it was well worth it. The room was very big with panoramic windows overlooking the water. There was a big balcony. The room is updated and feels so luxurious. The bathroom is beautiful with a stand-up as well as a tub shower. They had provided plenty of essentials in the room. The bedding was beautiful. It has a very romantic vibe. The hotel staff were very friendly and always available to help. The hotel did charge us for a friend that visited us in the room for 30 minutes. But I guess that’s their policy. We felt a little awkward having to go downstairs and register the guest even though she was only staying for 30 minutes. Also, since the hotel is on the water, it is slightly off from the main street. In order to get public transport/taxi you have to walk 2 minutes to the main street. There also seems to be construction going on in the front of the hotel that was not appealing to sight. The hotel is far from Hagia Sofia, blue mosque and Topkapi palace. It’s located on the European side but is separated from the Sultanahmet area by a bridge. About 35 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. Also, plenty of public transport to get around. The hotel also has a great roof top restaurant with amazing views. The food and sheesha/hookah were also amazing. I would definitely stay there again.
