The restaurant offered many choices. I enjoyed the breakfast . The location near the sea is hard to beat. I especially appreciated how close it was to the attractions near Sultan Ahmed. It made sightseeing quite easy.
The AC control was locked to 20 degrees, so keeping the room cool during the afternoon required keeping the blinds closed. It was slightly inconvenient.
