Fantastic location in the heart of the Old city, this Doubletree exudes warm Turkish hospitality at all touch points throughout the hotel.

At check in I am personally welcomed by the Cluster GM, Mr. Cevizci, who checks to see all is OK with the check in and tells me of some of the historical landmarks close by to the hotel.

My room is upgraded to the Bosphorous Suite, which has an expansive terrace with beautiful views of the sea. All amenities are provided in this oversized room.

I use the well equipped gym in the morning before breakfast; which in itself is a smorgasbord of local and international delights.

Checkout is at a generous standard 12pm which gives me stress free time to do a bit more exploration before I move to my next hotel stay in Tuzla.

A great stay!
