Magnaura was comfortable, cozy and clean. The rooftop restaurant breakfast had an extensive selection of choices with a grand view. We even ate there at night once. Great staff at hotel. Very accommodating. Convenient to walk everywhere in Sultanhmet area - Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Highly recommend Magnaura Palace as an excellent choice. I would stay there again. It was a bargain for the level of service and convenience

Magnaura Palace Hotel combines a 5-star, white-glove experience with a warm, cozy home-away-from-home experience. It is both traditional Turkish and modern, packed with amenities and conveniences. The location is as central and convenient as can be and the views are the best in Istanbul. Breakfast on a menu of diverse mix of fresh, in-season, and delicious Sultan's table of small plates overlooking the Sea of Marmara on one side and the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia on the other side. You can't stop taking pictures at the restaurant and the roof terrace above. Finally, the service and hospitality are top notch and always with a smile. They really go out of their way to help and make you feel comfortable. We're definitely coming back!

Fantastic hotel! Excellent location, literally a one minute walk from the Blue Mosque. I was concerned about being a solo woman traveler, and I felt totally safe in this location. Facilities were very nice and clean. Breakfast buffet included numerous interesting Turkish options and was delicious! Rooftop terrace views were spectacular. Hotel staff were courteous and attentive. Hotel owner was super knowledgeable and gave excellent restaurant and activities recommendations, even helping me make reservations. Highly recommend this location.

Great hotel
The hotel staff is amazing and very friendly. They helped us with our bags and always welcomed us when we came back to the hotel each time. The breakfast on the terrace overlooks the city and the river and it’s an amazing view. The food was very good too. It’s centrally located and within walking distance ro the main tourist attractions like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern. The room was super clean and comfortable

Outstanding Hotel, you wont' regret
This is a fantastic boutique hotel that is impeccably maintained; the owner is on site, never sleeps; and is incredibly clean and comfortable. It is located next to many local attractions. I was there while it was hot and the air conditioning works very well. The breakfast buffet is outstanding every morning and again, everything is impeccable. I highly recommend.
