The staff was super helpful, responsive and polite. So we were we're happy about that.
The room itself was dusty and my bed was broken but we were too tired to complain and we were staying there only for a few hours anyway

5/5 - Excellent

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

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

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.
