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.

    You walk outside the hotel and are almost on the end of the Basilica Cistern queue. It's that close to major sites. We were able to drop our coats back between visiting the Blue Mosque and Topkapi palace when the weather cleared up without feeling we had lost any of our day. The green wood-stain decor looks every bit as good in real life as it does on the website. The breakfast is amazing and the staff are very kind. Night time food also looked good but we ate elsewhere just for variety.

    The hotel is in walking distance of all of the big attractions (Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern) and with a easy access to tram its only a a short trip to the ferrys, Balat and Galata Tower. The hotel room is small (as expected) and as desciribed, but its perfect for a short stay. Clean and good standard. Hospital staff that gives you and introduction and an overview over the city and the attractions when you arrive the hotel.

    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.
