I liked this hotel, its unbeatable location & pretty friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of options. Cozy and warm room, exceptionally comfortable beds. Everything was great as expected, yet the bathroom was very small.

Everything was terrific from staff, who were outstandingly accommodating, to the picturesque location. The bed was extremely comfy, the room was luxury and airy. Loved the continental breakfast, which included grits, pastries, sausages and cheese. The coffee bar in the hotel had lots of good lemonade and refreshments throughout the day.

The weather was sunny, had brilliant stay. It was upgraded and reasonably clean hotel, even so the views were very very bad. Absolutely gorgeous location to basilica cistern.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi was very poor.

Staff was extremely friendly, hotel was fairly clean. The bed was comfy, and I loved that the room was airy and outstanding. Got enjoyable breakfasts with drinks and food and coffee. Spectacular location, not too far away from an ottoman - era friday mosque. Generally the service was impeccable.

Having easy access to basilica cistern and being in front of the blue mosque. We really enjoyed the fact that we chose basileus. The hotel met needs well...
