the location is really convenient. i found aya sofia and the blue mosque just a short walk away. several good restaurants are practically on the same street as the hotel. breakfast offered lots of healthy options and support from kitchen staff.

the hotel is located very close to main attractions. several good restaurants ARE located literally on the same street. the hotel sits less than 300 m from sultan ahmed square, a plus for easy access.
