The location is the excellent and the best feature of the hotel. You are steps from the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi and the Grand Bazzar. You can see the Bosphorus from the rooms and get a full view of it from the breakfast room. Rooms and amenities are standard, but the location is great.

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.

It is close to all the important spots and also near a great Turkish Bath which has been operating for over 500 years. The mosques are nearby, and the Grand Bazaar and the Catles are all within walking distance. It is a very safe area at night to walk around in, and it has lots of good dining choices.

The hotel was located in the old city close to the major sites. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was nice with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. Turkish breakfast was good with a wide range of foods. Breakfast is in the rooftop restaurant with a great view of the Bosphorus. Would highly recommend. Would stay here again.

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
