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). 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.

From a 19 m² economy double to a 34 m² executive room with jetted tub
The seven room types span 19 m² to 34 m², and the differences are size, bed and view rather than character. The Economy Double Room, at 19 m² with one queen bed, sleeps up to 2 and is the smallest choice, suited to a couple keeping things simple. At the other end, the Executive Double Room with jetted tub is the largest at 34 m², with a king bed and a city view.
The Standard Double or Twin Room (20 m², one double bed, city view) sleeps up to 3, as do the Standard Triple Room (26 m², one queen bed, city view) and the Superior Room with sea view (30 m², one queen bed).
Views split the superior rooms three ways: the Superior Room with lanai (23 m², one double bed) looks onto the garden, the Superior Double Room in the courtyard area (28 m², one king bed) onto the courtyard, and the Superior Room with sea view onto the sea.

What the hotel has, and for whom
The hotel is wheelchair accessible and has secured parking, a banquet hall, and a snack bar and deli. The banquet hall and wedding services make it a workable venue for a celebration or an event, though the room types are all doubles and triples rather than family apartments.
Golfing is available nearby.
Check-in, check-out, children and pets
Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out until 12:30. Children are not allowed, so the hotel is adults-only in practice as well as in its room configuration. Pets are not allowed either. Secured parking is one of the hotel's own facilities, useful for anyone driving in.
Who it suits, and who it does not
For couples and groups of adults who want to be within a few hundred metres of Little Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, and within about a kilometre of Hagia Sophia and the range of rooms from a 19 m² economy double to a 34 m² executive room with jetted tub covers most needs.
It does not suit families with children, since children are not allowed, nor travellers with pets.
