Very nice Location! Amazing Experience

unbeatable location many restaurants smooth trip
The location is just unbeatable. Everything is close. I found many bars and restaurants right in the neighborhood! Plus, Ahmet really assisted me with everything. He is the best host ever! He.
The breakfast options were a little limited. I wish there were more hot dishes available. I noticed some days lacked meat options! Plus, the cold items stayed exactly the same every single day, same cheese.

The Beautiful Double Room included two separate sinks and a modern rainfall shower! The room also came with complimentary water every day, super useful. I really appreciated that feature, though the lighting was a little dim.

central location, breakfast Lovely

excellent location rooftop views
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.
