Castle Franco Suites — Hotel in Fatih

Traveling for leisure is all about collecting experiences, broadening your horizons and meeting people in a human and profound way. Castle Franco Suites will always stay in my memory, for the comfort it provided me and above all for one key person, Kevin.

Kevin is a paragon of all the values that a host must possess. Always supportive and eager to find solutions to the most challenging situations like mine. A smile, genuine, not fake. Polite, direct, assertive, open, professional.

Extra tips and tricks. Be prepared if you go to Istanbul during the Ramadan period. The city is super packed and you will not enjoy as much as it can offer. The Suites is well situated and has a very diverse and luxurious breakfast, always served warm. The rooms are very spacious, with the only drawback that they do not have blinds or dense curtains. If you are a bad sleeper (like me) keep that in mind to ask to be relocated to a room that does not face East as you will most probably wake up...

Spacious, luxurious comfort with breathtaking views!

New, clean, aesthetic suites with a small kitchen area and a perfect-sized bathroom. A surprise awaits you, a projection cinema screen installed, floating above the bed with Netflix-enhanced TV. There is also a working space desk. The balcony has an amazing sea scene on the right side and a rather spiritual view on the left side with the dome and minaret of the Gazi Atik Ali Pasha Mosque - when you hear the Azan, an Islamic call delivered by the muezzin, it is truly a magical sight. Situated at the most ideal location, a few steps away from the Grand Bazaar, Çemberlitaş Hammam bath, and 60 metres from the Column of Constantine in the Fatih district, it is just 12-mins walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Very friendly, welcoming, helpful owners and staff. I would only recommend more variety for the breakfast buffet and a big mirror...
