For location, rooms, facilities and service, this is perhaps one of the best special category hotels in Sultanhamet. We highly recommend it. (03/09 JMG)
Being an old Ottoman school, the building is very nice, painted in bright, light colours, with the typical characteristics of 19th century architecture.
The lobby is medium-sized but quite big for a special category hotel. It has a small waiting area and adjoins the garden/patio and coffee shop. It is decorated in a dark wooden style combined with continual Turkish decorative touches.
The hotel is situated in an inspiring location, directly in the heart of the Old Town, in a slightly elevated position surrounded by the most important historic and cultural sights, and with a view of the impressive Hagia Sophia museum. The most important shopping area, the harbour area and Sultanahmed Square are all easily accessible on foot. It is approximately 200 m to the tram stop Sultanahmed, and 19 km from Ataturk international airport.
