This recently refurbished hotel is ideally located in the old part of the city. For the travellers who are looking for the old Istanbul the hotel is really close to all historical attractions and monuments as the Grand Bazaar, the famous Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace or the Beyazit Tower, all are walking distance from the hotel. The airport will be around 45 minutes away, depending on traffic.The hotel serves its own buffet breakfast but there is not a restaurant itself because there is plenty other options nearby. In any case, the hotel offers a 24 hours room service.From outside, the hotel is a nice building from the early 20th century, with small classic decoration details. In perfect condition, recently painted it gives a good feeling.The reception area is wide and decorated in modern style. There is some seating space.Really good product for its category with a great relation price/quality. Its location is unbeatable for the tourist market and being a family owned hotel, not too big, it has a good personal service. (JMG 01/09)
