Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Seres Hotel Old City is favored for its fantastic location, placing guests within easy walking distance of attractions like the Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar. A particular highlight for many is the rooftop restaurant, providing stunning views during breakfast and evening cocktails; the breakfast buffet itself receives frequent praise for its variety. Some guests have found the economy rooms to be quite small and lacking natural light, but many others appreciate the spaciousness of rooms such as the Dolmabahce room on the 7th floor, which offers wonderful bay views.

The breakfast had a vast food selection, it created an awesome experience on the rooftop terrace.
The room I had was the smallest I HAVE ever stayed in. It seemed pretty expensive considering the size of the room. I also found dirty SHEETS.
