Independent Report
generalFor location, rooms, facilities & service, this is maybe one of the best Special Category hotel in Sultanhamet. We highly recommend it. Choosing this type of rooms, you will enjoy an amazing view of this fantastic building that is St Sophia. (03/09 JMG)
lobbyThe lobby is medium size but quite big for a hotel S category. It has some waiting area and is connected with the garden/patio and the coffee shop. It's decorated in dark wooden style combine with continuo Turkish decorations touches.
exteriorBeing an old Ottoman School, the building is really nice, painted in bright light colours and it has the typical characteristics of the architectural style in the 19th century.
restaurantThere is two restaurants; the Padisah, that combines fine dining with stunning views of the "Caferaga Medrese", the 16th century handicraft centre. This restaurant has a menu with innovative Turkish and Istanbul cuisine. The other restaurant is in the garden/patio, offering normally buffet menu, with international & Turkish specialities.
roomsThis hotel was built as an Ottoman school and hospital in the mid of 1800's, an refurbished into a hotel in the summer of 2005. This type of rooms offer a fantastic & impressive view of one of the most amazing buildings in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia, being so close to it. There is only a tiny road between the hotel & the area of the building. The rooms are good size and really comfortable. Decorated with taste & expensive material to give a pleasant feeling. All rooms has private bathroom with shower, heating and cooling air - conditioner, Satellite TV with major European channels and direct dial telephone. There is also Mini bar. The bathrooms, again, are in good size and have all necessary facilities to create a fantastic stay.
