How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

Six room types make up the hotel, and three of them are 20 m² double or twin rooms sleeping up to 3, each with one super-king bed or two twin beds. They differ in what you look at: the Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Hagia Sophia View carries that view in its name, the Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Sea View looks to the sea, and the plain Double or Twin Room states no view.
