Second Stay
We stayed here 5 1/2 years ago. We enjoyed our stay so we rebooked it for this trip. If anything, it has even gotten better. The staff is quite anxious to please. The hotel has been maintained well plus they’ve added a deck on top with some fantastic views of the area. The location of this hotel could not be any better for seeing sites of the old city. I highly recommend it. Fantastic staff from the front desk, to the Bellman, to the cleaning crew.

Location was excellent and close to all of the major attractions in the historical part of Istanbul. Staff were always friendly and helpful, and the daily breakfast was wonderful
Brad, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely not a 5 star by any standards. So platforms should check their rating system before onboarding a hotel under the 5 star category. That said, the location of the place is wonderful, staff is super friendly and helpful and breakfast is great! With the expectations of a 3 star, would love to visit here again!

Magnaura was comfortable, cozy and clean. The rooftop restaurant breakfast had an extensive selection of choices with a grand view. We even ate there at night once. Great staff at hotel. Very accommodating. Convenient to walk everywhere in Sultanhmet area - Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Highly recommend Magnaura Palace as an excellent choice. I would stay there again. It was a bargain for the level of service and convenience
