detailed informationcold eggsartificial juice

The staff was nice giving detailed information about how to visit the city and interesting sites.

I was frustrated when I found the breakfast lacked quality. The eggs were cold and the juice tasted artificial. The hotel overall felt a little cheap for the price I paid. I could easily hear people walking in the staircase and it was difficult to sleep. I was also not happy with the noise level.

I stayed there for a short trip and found the location quite convenient. It was a few minutes walk to the Blue Mosque. The staff was always friendly and eager to help with directions and recommendations. I especially liked the variety at breakfast.

The walls seemed thin, so noise from the hallway was noticeable. It was sometimes difficult to sleep when others were walking past our room.
