The hotel staff is exceptionally great, did not experience such pro-activity and hospitality in any other place. They made some good recommendations for example Turkish night cruise tour, helped us with directions, provided us with umbrella and on the last day we had 5am early check out so they also made us sandwiches as we would miss the breakfast, booked us a taxi etc. Location of the hotel is pretty great, everything is walking distance. Great breakfast. I would like to especially thank EFE from the hotel staff, he was very prompt and helpful. No complaints. Definitely recommend it.

I have been to Istanbul 56 times I tried different hotels. It is my first best experience with a real serious hotel (not a fake information online and fake reviews too) My notes: New building new construction New furniture A réal insonorisation Very clean room High tech equipment High quality pillows and blankets and towels and sheets The breakfast is a real oriental and European a different variety every day Best location safe and calm A very welcoming team very helpful My special greetings to Shirin and the others two receptionists wearing glasses (sorry I can not remember their first names) The front manager is always available I felt I am surrounded by my close friends and family and I can count on them

Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is one of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint, and mosques within its walls! Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artifacts of the Muslim world.

    Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit.

    Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

    i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

    1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

    Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

    1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

    Location was great. 5 minute walk to Sultanahmet where the main attractions of the old town are (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace). Also the tram was right there. Plenty of restaurants near by. The best thing is the staff. Kemal and his crew were the best. Helpful, courteous and hardworking. They all went out of their way to please each guest. The breakfast was excellent.

    The hotel is in a very convenient location. Close to important tram stops, Sirkeci Train Station and near to Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia. And it is not right on the main street which is quite busy, so you don't hear the noise from it very much. The breakfast is rich and varied enough every day, and the staff is extremely kind and responsive.
