central location, breakfast Lovely

excellent locationrooftop viewstiny room
the location is excellent, with hagia sofia and blue mosque accessible within a short walk. a tram station is conveniently located about three minutes away. breakfast on the rooftop offered wonderful views, and it included meats, cheeses, and omelettes. the terrace views were great during both day and night.
my room was tiny and very BASIC. it was situated above a loud bar, which impacted my ability to rest. i also encountered issues with the staff attempting to sell extras.
