We stayed in room 507.. it has a balcony where you can look to Hagia Sophia. Very quiet, comfortable bed. Breakfast room very cosy, good choice of food, excellent staff. 10 minutes walk to the main attractions. Dimitri is a great manager, helpful with local information and tours without being pushy! Also Richard, the night manager, was very welcoming.

The room on the top floor with a view on Hagia Sophia was very comfortable. Breakfast was great too. But what made our stay in Istanbul truly memorable and hassle-free was our host Dmitry. Dmitry helped us a lot with advice on places to visit, ways to get around the city, and a bunch of little things that are confusing to foreign visitors.
