Perfect Hotel to explore Istambul. Close to many sites and restaurants, but also with a tram nearby. Additionally, even if it is very central, it was very quiet and allowed a restful sleep.

Currently (Winter 2019) undergoing major rennovation so not all sections are open

3/5 - Okay

A lot of it closed due to restoration, also very difficult to get back from as no taxis

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Must see. Easy T1 street car changing. TO T4 . A few glimpses of Bysantian glory and barbarous destraction by invades.

3/5 - Okay

steve

What we could see was fantastic but as with many of Istanbul’s famous sights being extensively renovated

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Unfortunately, two thirds of this building is under renovation, so only a few mosaics may be viewed and none of the exterior.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The museum is in the middle of a major rennovation and more than half of it is inaccesable.
