This is an excellent hotel, with a location full of pluses and minuses.
We had the good fortune to stay on the top floor with a balcony, and had a breathtaking view of the Hagia Sophia, and the minarets of the Blue Mosque. It was exactly between the two in terms of Hearing the call to prayer, and these two mosques go back and forth in a memory we will have forever.
A short, slightly uphill walk puts you at the centre of old Istanbul. Early in the morning will put you first in line with little effort. Close to the tram line if that’s what you’re doing, which gets you to the ferries.
The down side is that you will have to run a gauntlet of restaurants who want your business very much, and very friendly carpet-sellers who will want your time and money. Quality of both varies from the reasonable to the terrible, with not much to help you choose between them but giving them a go. Do so at your risk. Prices are high, especially on the drink, but you are in the middle of where tourists want to be.
In my view, this was the nicest hotel in this little area other than the 4 Seasons at almost 10 times the price. The staff are great, the place is clean, it’s a little older. The a/c works pretty good.
And it’s position is unique for hitting all those boxes.
