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.

From a 14 m² single to three 35 m² rooms
The Standard Single Room is the smallest at 14 m², with one twin bed, sleeping one, and a garden view; it is the option for a solo traveller. At the other end, three rooms measure 35 m²: the Queen Room with Balcony and Hagia Sofia View, which pairs a double bed with a sofa bed; the Courtyard Room With Terrace, which has a queen bed and sleeps up to three; and the Double Room with Terrace, a queen-bedded room with a garden view.
In between sit the Superior rooms at 17 and 18 m², the Superior Room sleeping up to two, and the 21 m² Deluxe tier: the Deluxe Double Room with a double bed, the Deluxe Twin Room with two twin beds, and the Deluxe Room, which has a queen bed, sleeps up to three and has a city view. Above these come the 25 m² Grand Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, with a double bed and a sofa bed, and two 30 m² rooms with queen beds, the Deluxe Room (Grand) and the Grand Deluxe Room with Hagia Sophia View.
A couple travelling with a child has several workable arrangements: the two sofa-bed rooms, the Queen Room with Balcony and the Grand Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, plus the Deluxe Room and the Courtyard Room With Terrace, which each sleep up to three. Only the Queen Room with Balcony and Hagia Sofia View and the Grand Deluxe Room with Hagia Sophia View carry that view; the other rooms here have a garden or city view.
