Basilica Cistern

This cavernous space is the largest remaining Byzantine cistern in Istanbul. Constructed in the 6th century, it originally provided water filtration for the Great Palace of Constantinople, and continued to supply the Topkapi Palace from 1453 until the modern day. Opened to the public in 1987, you can now explore its atmospheric walkways and marvel at the intricacy of its decorative, water-worn columns.

    The guy at reception was delightful and helped with everything. The accommodation was in easy walking distance of many of the main attractions. We adored the basilica cisterna! The breakfast was excellent, with a range of delicious traditional foods. The room was quiet and comfortable although the shower head was a bit wonky. Lots of dining options around- the restaurant spruikers are everywhere and a bit overwhelming but good natured.

    Our room was amazing. Very big. Very Turkish. Lovely jacuzzi bath. The hotel situated approx 10 mins from the key mosques, basilica cistern and not far from the grand bazaar and bustling river area by the Galata bridge. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice plus things to order, like omelette, pancakes, etc. Front desk was really helpful with directions and sorting out taxi to the airport. They have a spa area but we did not have time to use it. We loved our time here.

    The location is great as it is only a short walk to the main sightseeing sites, e.g Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern. We also walked to the Spice Market and the Grand Bazaar as well as the port but if you have mobility issues you can catch the T1 Tram back up the hill. The reception staff were very informative and helped us get the best of our time in Istanbul.

    An excellent hotel located nearby to the main tourist sights (Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern) - took less than 10 minutes to walk! The hotel offers great rooms and facilities, including a gym and sauna. The staff at the hotel are super helpful and friendly - they are also more than happy to discuss recommendations on activities and where to go in the city! Overall, I would recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again when visiting Istanbul!
