“Located in the Laleli district, this hotel strikes me as a practical base for exploring Istanbul's historic heart, close to both the tram and major sights. What stands out is the rooftop terrace, which provides views over the Marmara Sea - a lovely spot for a morning coffee. I noticed that the family-friendly accommodations and the responsiveness of the staff come up repeatedly, which should be a relief for those traveling with children.”
