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.

What the hotel offers
The hotel has family rooms, free parking and a paid airport shuttle. Among its other facilities are air conditioning, heating, non-smoking rooms, soundproof rooms, a 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping, so both summer and winter stays are covered and arrivals late in the evening are handled.
Check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed, and pets are not. Parking at the hotel is free, which is worth noting for anyone driving in; the hotel also offers private parking and street parking among its other arrangements.
Who it suits, and who should not choose it
The hotel suits couples, families and small groups who want to be close to the Sultanahmet sights and who care more about room size and bed count than about resort facilities. A family of five fits in the Family Room; a larger group can share the Comfort Quadruple Room or the Studio with Sea View, each with several beds under one roof.
It does not suit travellers expecting a pool, a spa or a restaurant in the hotel, and it does not accept pets. Anyone travelling with a dog or cat, or wanting leisure facilities on site, should look elsewhere. For a short city stay with early check-in at 13:00 and the main mosques within about a kilometre.
