Everything was very good, efficient staff, spectacular views of the sea and both the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia Mosque. The room was immaculate with a lovely bed and an awesome breakfast included. Its fantastic, very central location was a plus. Again, the hotel offered 15-minutes direct walk to an Ottoman - era Friday mosque.

    I had a fantastic stay at The Magnaura Palace. As a first-time traveler to Istanbul, being within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace was incredibly convenient. The hotel's terrace offered a mesmerizing view of the mosques and the soothing sounds of prayer. The property felt safe, clean, and the staff were always eager to help. The tours offered by the hotel were a great convenience and the owner, Mehmet, ensured the comfort of all guests. I will definitely be returning!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    We loved the location of Magnaura Palace, it's very close to historical landmarks and has parking available. Even though we had to leave our bags in the lobby on the departing day, the hotel is overall a great choice. The rooftop breakfast had a stunning view and excellent options. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

    Breakfast was gorgeous, exceptional views, unbeatable location next to other major places of interest and the Basilica Cistern and most attractions in the old town. All the employees were informative and smiled at me. Reasonably clean and cosy hotel in Old City Sultanahmet district.

    It was really amazing 2 days, would come back for sure. Everything was very clean and enjoyed my stay there. The hotel was in a really quiet area, right by the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Plus, Mosaic Museum was close by.

    The Magnaura Palace Hotel in Istanbul exceeded all expectations. Its prime location near top attractions and bustling streets made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The friendly and well-trained staff provided exceptional hospitality throughout the stay. The Turkish modern style of the hotel and its distinctive decor added a unique touch to the experience. The sea view from the room was breathtaking, and the owner's generosity in providing gifts was a lovely gesture. Excited for the upcoming terrace with a panoramic view of Istanbul.

    Nothing bad to say.

    This hotel offers great value for money, with rooms that have amazing sea views on the top floor. The location is perfect for exploring the historical center of Sultanahmet, with all the major tourist attractions just a short walk away. The breakfast buffet, served on the rooftop terrace, offers a wide variety of options and provides breathtaking views of the city.

    No improvement needed, everything was excellent.

The breakfast offers a good variety of options to start your day. From the breakfast room, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Marmara Sea.

    Some areas of the hotel may need renovations and could be cleaner.

    Had an amazing experience during my Christmas stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, just a short walk to famous attractions like the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia. The hotel was also surrounded by shops and all the facilities I needed were within walking distance. The breakfast was excellent, especially the Turkish cold meze. The view from the restaurant was absolutely breathtaking, with glass walls allowing for stunning views of both the mosques and the sea.

    The only downside was that the hotel was undergoing maintenance and renovations, so I couldn't get the 4th floor room with a balcony that I had wanted. It would have been nice to have that option during my stay.

    We had a fantastic stay at a hotel that was close to the historic centre of the city and located on a cul-de-sac. It was only a block away from the Blue Mosque, making it extremely convenient for exploring the historical sites of this city. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, with sparkling clean rooms, bathrooms, and dining areas. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, always ready to answer any questions and provide suggestions on where to go and how to get there. The breakfast offered a variety of options, catering to different tastes, whether Turkish or international.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    The hotel had a great breakfast with a stunning view. It was really nice to start the day with such a delicious and diverse spread while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Additionally, the location was perfect. It was right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of all the main attractions. This made it so convenient to explore and make the most of our time in the city. Another advantage was the helpful staff. They were always friendly and ready to assist with any queries or requests we had.

    The walls in the rooms were quite thin, so we could hear noises from the neighboring rooms. It was a bit bothersome especially at night when we were trying to sleep.

    Whether you want to explore the city's landmarks or simply relax, this hotel's location has everything you need. You can easily get to all the must-sees of Istanbul, as it is conveniently located right in the midst of all the important sights. If you want to explore beyond the tourist hotspots, you can take the metro that is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The breakfast is amazing, served in a nice room with a sea view. The staff is so kind and always helpful.

    The hotel could use some renovations and more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness in certain places.
