All the places are within walking distance: the Grand Bazaar is a two-minute walk away, the Blue Mosque is a 16-minute walk away, and the food at the hotel was excellent! The room was impeccably clean and disinfected.

Certainly! Here’s a more flowing version of your review: --- We stayed here for four nights in December. Our room was clean and in good repair, with a powerful shower, and the overall cleaning service was very good. However, the air-conditioning did not work in the room, and we were baking to the extent that we could not sleep for the first two nights, which is not great when traveling with children as it ruins your holiday. The central air-conditioning is only set to hot in winter, and the radiators are switched on, which led me to search for alternative accommodation on the first night. I asked reception for a fan, which they promptly brought, making the heat more tolerable. On the second day, we were not left three bottles of water; one had likely been drunk by room service due to the room being so hot! On the third day, we weren't left any water in the room, despite it being extremely hot again. The gym had a small indoor pool; we went there once with the kids, who did jump in even though it was very cold (not a heated pool). The hot tub was working but missing a pillow section on one side, and the steam room was out of service. There is a small area where the hotel leaves water and fruit at set times (1 o'clock). It would cost very little to have a tea/coffee station for guests and level up the hospitality. The staff were absolutely lovely and helpful at all times. The location is amazing, with everything in the Sultanahmet region within walking distance and a nearby

Conveniently located and great value
We arrived at 08:45 and thought we'd have to wait until the afternoon to check-in. But we were given a room straight away. The reception staff were very helpful, courteous and professional. The room we were given smelt of bad drains so they immediately ordered us an alternative and a complementarity breakfast as the alternative room wasnt going to be ready unti after 11am. This gave us time to walk the 5 minutes to the Grand Bazaar. The alternative room was fine. The breakfast was of high standard and the restaurant staff were very attentive. The only down size was the extortionate prices in the hotel British style pub. Just under £7 for a regular 300cl glass of beer. We purchased the prepaid top up travel cards for the tram and ferry. Take a 20 minute trip via the ferry to the Asian side where prices for food and shopping is more competitive.

Excellent, staff very attentive. Breakfast fantastic. Only downside was The London Pub on the premises. Great building but very few customers and no atmosphere. Hardly surprising at their inflated prices. Half the prices, advertise, fill the place up and it would be a great venue.

Near tourist attractions (easy to walk everywhere). Safe area. Tram about 100 meters from hotel if needed and each trip about 20cents AUS. Staff at desk helpful for all booking and advise. Only thing to note is the pool was very cold. Breakfast great selection and worth paying. Bottled water every day in room and plenty in foyer to take on outings. Fabulous stay. Locals also very friendly and helpfully with directions while out of hotel. Highly recommended coming to Istanbul for a holiday.
