9/10 Wonderful! (1,455 reviews)
This hotel is perfectly located to Old Town sites (literally minutes to walk everywhere), while still quiet and quaint. The staff were all very attentive, especially when our daughter took a tumble and needed some ice/mending. The hotel itself is older (though well kept and updated), so sound insulation isn’t what it could be- we always sleep with white noise anyway though. Beds were good, pillows great, breakfast was wonderful. They upgraded our room to have a French balcony.

8.6/10 Excellent! (413 reviews)
Staff were friendly and had a good experience with all restaurants close by. Food and shopping are all within walking distance. The hotel room itself could be cleaner, it was very dusty in my room

4 Nov 2019Dripping in gold everywhere you look! No photography allowed inside (and they will make you delete the pictures if caught so don't try!). The palace is very 'over the top' but a perfect example of the wealth of the Sultans. The main staircase is jaw-dropping! The clock museum (on the grounds) was worth a visit too. Beautiful gifts and examples of craftsmanship from around the world. When we went the glass house/ crystal house (I forget what it was called) was closed for renovation. However, there was an aviary you could visit. I highly recommend you buy the full ticket as the Harem section contains all the bedrooms which you cannot visit on the palace ticket alone. Tip: skip the queue and walk just inside the main gates to the grounds and there are two ticket machines. You can buy your tickets there and go straight through security. Second tip: avoid the overcharged 'skip the line VIP ticket'. We said no to some aggressive people trying to make us pay extra and instead bought the tickets from the machines described above and still skipped the queue on our own.
