The bottom line

A reliable, well-located choice for first-time visitors to Istanbul who want to be steps from the city's iconic sights. The rooftop breakfast alone justifies the stay, and free parking is a welcome bonus. While facilities are basic and value is a relative weak point, the service and comfort are solidly rated.
