amazing family stay!

spacious roomrefreshing swimming poolfriendly staffthin curtains
We had such a blast! we were in a family room. It was amazingly spacious. the swimming pool was refreshing, and the gym had everything i needed for a quick workout. the spa services were excellent, i definitely recommend treating yourself. all the staff were super friendly and always ready to help.
one minor thing, i wish the room had darker curtains. the morning light streamed in super early. it made sleeping in a bit challenging, though i made it work!

The breakfast offered excellent food for all dietary needs. I had a meal one evening. Prices were reasonable and the view from the restaurant was amazing! The location provides a quick walk to Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia near the tram station, restaurants, bars, and shops.
The reception staff could be more friendly and smile more.

Acceptable Location, DISAPPOINTING Spa

ideal locationunheated poolextra charges
The location is indeed ideal for first-time visitors. It is near both cultural sites and the Grand Bazaar.
The spa was a letdown. The pool was not heated properly during winter. I also had to PAY for a swim cap before entering, a COMPLETE waste since I couldn't enjoy it.
