My family and I stayed at Hotel Ipekyolu for a week, and it was a great pick overall. The location near iconic attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque made sightseeing super convenient. While the staff provided excellent service and were really helpful throughout our stay, I did encounter some issues with room cleanliness. The view from our balcony was stunning, yet I wish the state of the rooms matched the beautiful scenery outside.
