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.

small room dirty sheets

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.

The staff was very friendly and always ready to assist with any questions I had. I enjoyed the delicious breakfast, with fresh and extensive choices offered daily.

average stay with some letdowns

cramped room hallway noise

I wasn't thrilled with my room. it felt pretty cramped (especially with luggage). also, the soundproofing was bad. I could hear everything happening in the hallway. the breakfast area seemed understaffed because getting a coffee took forever.
