Central Location and Helpful Staff

helpful staff central location
Kitchen staff are friendly people. I appreciated the central location close to the bridge, waterfront, and restaurants. Ferry access for transport around the city was also nearby.
The hotel lacked variety in egg dishes during breakfast. I would have liked more options. The breakfast buffet primarily offered standard fare. I did not see many special or diverse egg preparations.
Location
9/10
The hotel is conveniently located near many shops, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. Several restaurants are just steps away from the front door and markets are also close. The ferry port and river are within a short walk.

the location was acceptable near main attractions.
the room was small it felt more like a storage closet than a proper room. the bathroom seemed even smaller making showering an uncomfortable experience i reminded me of i was in a dollhouse. also the breakfast options were quite limited mostly catering to turkish tastes and not offering much for those preferring a more european style meal the lack of variety became tiresome very quickly
