ORIENT EXPRESS HOTEL -- 2

REVIEWED BY TOM BROSNAHAN OF TURKEY TRAVEL PLANNER



The Orient Express Hotel features an open-buffet breakfast with plentiful choices is served in the breakfast room where guests also receive complimentary copies of the hotel’s own Sirkeci Daily Express full of sightseeing tips and other useful information.

The reception area is decorated with posters which recall the glory days of the eponymous Orient Express trains that used to steam into Sirkeci station nearby.

Also, don't fail to enjoy the artwork with which the hotel's walls are decorated: pages from illuminated books, tile panels, original paintings.

The hotel's owner, Mr Faruk Boyacı, has a good eye for interesting art.

The ground floor features the pleasant Wagon Bar which has been designed to imitate the interior of one of Istanbul’s famous and much-loved ferryboats – they still leave from the Eminonu docks not far from the hotel.
