- I stayed here for 2 days on my short stay at Istanbul last December. I arrived this hotel early, around 8am. Luckily there was empty room and we were allowed to check-in earlier and had our breakfast. The hotel is just 100m from Ayasofya and 200m from Blue Mosque. Spectacular view from hotel restaurant. I can say this is the tallest building at Sultahahmet bank, which you can see clearly sea and bosphorus straits. Wish to stay here again if I am in Istanbul again.
