“Orient Express & Spa By Orka Hotels presents a compelling option for vacationing families seeking to immerse themselves in Istanbul's rich history. Its location in the Sirkeci Peninsula places guests steps away from iconic landmarks, while the rooftop dining and comprehensive spa services promise relaxation.

good locationtram lineunvaried breakfast
the LOCATION was really good. it was close to many attractions.
I was disappointed with the room. it was SMALL, though CLEAN. i found the constant noise from the nearby tram line disrupted my sleep and the breakfast options lacked variety. The juice tasted like cordial, not fresh juice. I would've liked a better experience overall.
