Hotel Sapphire is the perfect place to stay for a memorable vacation in Istanbul. To truly enjoy your time and experience all that the city has to offer, I would recommend staying at least 5 to 7 days at this hotel. The central location of the hotel makes it convenient for exploring various landmarks nearby.
