noise issueearly morning
I liked the proximity to the grand bazaar, a short two-minute walk. the daily room cleaning was also a plus. however, the noise was a real issue. I could clearly hear toilets flushing and staff setting up breakfast very early. it was also quite disturbing to hear another guest vomiting loudly at 2 a.m. despite being a heavy sleeper, these noises heavily impacted my rest..

Cozy stay, perfect location

tram stopshort walkhelpful staffideal location
The hotel is close to the tram stop, a great convenience! The main attractions are a short walk away. The staff, especially Ismail, were really helpful. He assisted with transport questions and any requests I had. I found the location ideal, close to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque.
Soundproofing was not great. Noises from other rooms and early morning breakfast preparations were audible.

Complimentary Turkish tea was available in my room! Breakfast featured a variety of options, from savory to sweet, though the savory options were more extensive, and the scrambled eggs were a bit cold.
