Reviews
The rooms are spacious and clean. I would recommend improving the isolation (windows and doors), as you can hear the tram every 5–10 minutes as well as noise from neighboring rooms.
Conveniently located near Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, with easy access to public transportation.
