amazing experience in a prime location

The service throughout my visit impressed me. I received a complimentary upgrade from a beautiful sea view room to a spacious suite that also featured sea views. The hotel is located conveniently, with access on foot to landmarks such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. MANY restaurants are nearby.
The breakfast selection could have included a wider variety of choices. This is my only minor complaint.
