Overall, it was a great stay! The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel is very close to the main attraction, Hagia Sophia. Lots of restaurants and bars around the area. My favorite is the terrace restaurants. They provide a great view of the area. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone who’s visiting Istanbul!
