Great hotel

We were very satisfied with our stay. Hotel is very close to major attractions. Very clean, good breakfast. And the restaurant has a nice view! Staff were very friendly and ready to help. Specifically thanks for letting us checked in earlier, we were very tired after a long trip. We had a very early flight home, the driver they provided was waiting for us when we checked out. They even brought breakfast to our room at 4:45am. Highly recommended this hotel if you visit Istanbul.

The Magnaura Palace Hotel

This hotel was perfect for my friend and I. The entire staff was professional, warm and friendly and especially helpful. Their recommendations for tours and places to see was great advice! Although a very busy and tourist-packed area, the location is perfect for first-time visitors like us, who wanted to see the ancient places. We hired a private guide through the hotel who was very knowledgeable and informative. The hotel also arranged rides for us, made reservations and educated us on public transportation, which is by very good in Istanbul, and very inexpensive. The inclusive breakfast is wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant was very good with many menu choices, great service, and beautiful view of the Golden Horn and Bosphorus.

Checking into this hotel is like joining a family. They have gone the extra mile each and every day! Besides having a beautiful view of the sea we are treated to a massive breakfast array of foods! The restaurant has an unbelievable view of the most famous sights of Istanbul and the lunch and dinner menus are quite large! We went back to stay 3 different times!

The Magnura Palace Hotel - a great place to stay.

The Magnaura Palace Hotel is ideally placed in Sultanamet and an easy walk of the main attractions - the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sohia. The room had amazing views of the Bosphorous and its constant shipping traffic. The staff at the hotel were wonderful - all spoke great English and were helpful at all times. The room was well equipped and the bed comfortable. Perhaps the only criticism was of the hot water - the heat tended to diminish as the day wore on making an evening shower somewhat an in/out experience. Breakfast was good with a range of products one would expect to find. We did not dine in so are unable to comment. Overall, we have no hezitation in recommending the Magnura Palace as a great place to stay.

Can't beat the location, near all the old city attractions, surrounded by great restaurants, even if they look touristy. The terrace restaurant has amazing views. Helpful staff, convenient shuttle to the airport for 50 euro. A little porous for sound, but on a quiet street for the most part.
