I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped with a lovely rooftop terrace overlooking the Bosphorus and Saint Sophie basilica, perfect for enjoying breakfast or indulging in a drink while soaking in the view. However, the lack of soundproofing was a bit bothersome, as noises from outside could be heard easily.
