Seven Hills Hotel - Special Class

Seven Hills Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very accommodating. Hotel is in a perfect location, near Hagia Sophia. View from rooftop is incredible. Four Seasons is just down the street at a much more expensive price. Only issue is that there’s a sister hotel near the water named Seven Hills Palace and my driver confused the two."
