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.

23 m² standard rooms to the 36 m² Corner Suite with City View
The three standard rooms are each 23 m² with a city view: the Standard Double Room has one double bed, the Standard Twin Room two twin beds, and the Double or Twin Room with City View comes as one double bed or two twin beds. Each of the three sleeps up to 3, so a couple with a child fits any of them. For a couple, the Standard Double Room is the simplest choice; two friends sharing will want one of the twin rooms.
The superior tier, the Superior Double Room, the Superior Twin Room, the Superior Twin Room with City View and the Superior Double or Twin Room with City View, is 28 m² with a city view, in the same bed layouts. For two travellers who want more space than the 23 m² standards, these are the mid choice.
The Corner Suite with City View is 36 m², with one double bed and two sofa beds, and sleeps up to 5, which makes it the room for a family or a group sharing.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double or Twin Room with City View | 23 m² | 1 double bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 | city view |

An indoor pool, spa, hammam and sauna in the building
The hotel has an indoor pool, so a swim does not depend on the season or the weather, and a spa with a hammam and a sauna: a Turkish bath without leaving the building. Fitness facilities are on site too, so training does not have to stop while travelling. Together these make the hotel a place to unwind in, not just to sleep in.
Facilities for disabled guests are provided, which matters for travellers with mobility needs.
Check-in from 14:00, children allowed, paid parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed, so there is no adults-only rule to work around when planning a family trip. Parking is paid, as is the airport shuttle; both are worth factoring in if your plans involve a car or a flight.
Who it suits, and who it does not
It suits travellers who want a pool, a hammam and a sauna in the building rather than somewhere to seek out in the city, and it suits families: children are allowed and the Corner Suite with City View sleeps up to 5 in one room. The paid airport shuttle helps anyone who would rather not arrange a transfer themselves, and the choice of double or twin beds in two of the room types suits both couples and friends sharing.
It does not suit a traveller who wants to be close to Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque or Topkapı Palace: all three are between about 5.8 and 6.3 km away in a straight line.
