Enjoyable and great location to explore from.
Pros:

Location is superb next to the Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet area. Room was small on comparison to a number of hotels stayed in, was relatively clean and room make up service was good. The bedroom would benefit from a deep clean in particular under the bed. Breakfast was ok but very limited, no individual cooked breakfast items on offer only what was on the hot plates. Views from the dining and terrace area of the sea are quite amazing. A good hotel to explore old Istanbul.

Cons:

Nothing really disliked.

Schöne Unterkunft in zentraler Lage mit tollen Ausblicken
Pros:

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Blick auf die blaue Moschee. Die Lage ist super, absolut zentral, aber trotzdem ruhig mit schönem Garten und Frühstücksterrasse mit Blick aufs Wasser. Direkt gegenüber dem Hotel befindet sich der Arasta Bazar. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Lage Top, Personal Top, Essen Top - Einfach Top Top Top.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist ein Traum, man ist direkt hinter der blauen Moschee und kann vom Frühstückstisch direkt auf den Bosborus blicken. Das Personal ist absolut zuvorkommend und organisiert die bei Bedarf verschiedene Touren. Die Zimmer haben eine kleine Hamamdusche, welche durchaus mal interessant ist,

Cons:

Das Hotel war einfach Perfekt - es gab nichts negatives zu sagen.

Great location & sea view
Pros:

The location
The hotel has a beautiful garden & amazing sea view.
Arranging airport transfers
Friendly staff at reception
Some breakfast items, especially coffee, jam, & fresh cream.

Cons:

The bathroom, especially shower area
The towels were dated
Breakfast buffet is the same everyday and cheddar cheese is tasteless!
The housekeeper did not wash the kettle used by previous guests, so we found tea bags in ours which was off putting. But, the hotel replaced the kettle immediately when we pointed them out.
