During my five-night stay at Kervan Hotel, I was deeply impressed by the stunning location right between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which made exploring the historic area incredibly easy. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a fantastic view. However, I did face a few issues with cleanliness and the service, especially when it came to room maintenance, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.

I had a great stay at Kervan Hotel, with its unbeatable location just steps away from Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. The suite I booked on the top floor was spacious and offered a lovely terrace view. However, climbing three flights of stairs with no lift was a bit challenging, and the breakfast selection was somewhat limited.
