    breakfast
    pool

    The breakfast was an absolute letdown, served on a dirty terrace. rather disappointing! the pool is a total misrepresentation, not child-friendly whatsoever. Plus, I expected complimentary treats for dealing with such inconveniences, but here I am, just like every other guest. almost thought I could recommend this place, but just couldn’t.

    commitment hospitality
    historical significance
    limited breakfast

    During my recent stay, the hotel offered magnificent views of Hagia Sophia from the breakfast terrace, enriching our mornings. Although the breakfast choices could use variety, the staff's efforts to assist us, particularly during our late arrival, showcased their commitment to hospitality. a worthwhile experience steeped in history.

    Charming, charming, charming

    I absolutely adored my 3-night stay in the Standard Double or Twin Room! The Turkish Hammam experience was pure bliss, especially thanks to Seyhan, whose gentle touch made every moment feel luxurious. And let's not forget the breathtaking views of the Hagia Sophia from the rooftop restaurant—it truly elevated every meal into a memorable experience!

    My experience wasn’t all smooth sailing. The room was cramped, barely sufficient space to move around, and it lacked proper maintenance—wires hanging out of electrical fixtures and some malfunctioning appliances. I had to deal with inconsistent hot water on the last day, and finding a shower room by the pool would have been ideal, considering guests were jumping into the pool straight from the sauna. The breakfast situation could have been much better too. the area felt overcrowded and they ran out of food without any effort to replenish it. It definitely left me wanting more variety and cleanliness for such a space.

    Exceptional Turkish Hammam and Lovely Rooftop Views

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with the Turkish Hammam experience that provided a relaxing retreat after busy days exploring. Dining at the rooftop restaurant with its breathtaking views of the Hagia Sophia was a highlight, making each meal feel special. The staff consistently went above and beyond, making me feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout my visit. I did find the breakfast area to be a bit crowded during peak hours, which could be managed better.
