Change the door looks to normal locks.
Good views for the breakfast rooms, and the adjacent restaurant was one of the more popular restaurants in the area with hotel guests get 20%.
Room was comfortable, although could have done with a larger flat surface to put bags on.
Negatives about the room were the strange key pad room lock, which did not feel secure, the in room safe was not bolted down and did not work, and there was a lot of noise when people moved around the corridor which transfered into the room. Simple changes like a normal look for the room and fitting a sound insulating door to the room would have made a big difference.

The AC was turned off, and the room was very hot. The staff provided a standing fan, which was not convenient due to its loud noise.
The rooftop breakfast platter had plenty of options and had an amazing view of Istanbul city.
Overall happy with the Hotel and its staff.

The good:
Our room was very clean. good buffet breakfast with many selections; the breakfast area is on the top floor and has a very good view of Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya; the attendant in the breakfast area was very pleasant and polite. The porters were polite.
The bad:
Our room was very small. Even with the windows closed, the noise from the nearby restaurants and bars was very loud until 2am. We encountered 3 dofferent front desk guys during our stay, only one was very helpful, the other 2 were not.

Washroom had a sewer gas smell which leaked into the bedroom throughout my stay. Informed the staff but not sure they were concerned. Otherwise, it is a nice hotel. The location is excellent - walkable from all tourist attractions in the area.

Loved the hotel and the very friendly staff! Location is perfect and central, you can walk to the train station as well as to the Blue Mosque. All the restaurants are footsteps away. The view during breakfast on the terrace is beautiful, the breakfast itself is just ok, not many filling options especially for non-Turkish folks. Private airport transfer is worth it compared to taking the bus or metro, much faster! The standard room we got with a king bed was nice but definitely a little tight, wish it was more spacious. Also it’s pretty noisy at night, since the restaurants are open pretty late, so it’s not for light sleepers but I’m not one so I had no issue.

Gr8 place to stay if you don’t need Wi-Fi
Friendly efficient check in before noon was greatly appreciated- quietest lift I’ve experienced for a long time, spacious room with large comfy bed and an amazing view- one or two little annoyances- shower screen hit shower head when opened but main problem was lack of Wi-Fi which was totally useless and worked for a few minutes then disappeared for hours on all my 3 devices, tip - have a glass of wine or beer in hotel restaurant where you get 20% off already reasonable prices and Wi-Fi works superbly- hotel recommended for gr8 staff, superb restaurant breakfast with view to die for and location one minutes walk from Sultanmet tramline one station but Wi-Fi useless

The location of this property is excellent if you're interested in seeing the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, the Egyptian Bazaar, etc. All of these sites were just a short walk away. The hotel staff was all friendly and helpful. The restaurant connected to the hotel had delicious food and friendly staff.
