Mina Boutique Hotel, Sultanahmet, Istanbul

(6-11 Nov 2009) Mina Hotel - www.minahotel.com.tr

What a wonderful hotel. The staff are all very friendly, polite and helpful & I found the hotel to be spotlessly clean and very comfortable. My room was large with french windows and a Juliet balcony, beautiful decor, a good sized bathroom and plenty of wardrobe space. I felt at home immediately.

The breakfasts are lovely with lots to choose from. The restaurant is very attractive and the roof terrace and views are amazing.

There is a lot to see within walking distance; the Blue Mosque, Agia Sofia, Yerebatan (Basilica Cistern), Topkapi...plus lots of restaurants and shops. Also within walking distance are trams, taxis and buses. A great base.

I will definitely be back very soon. It was a real pleasure to stay at Mina, thank you very much to all of the hotel staff.
