helpful staffbreakfast buffetcentral locationstreet noisebathroom odor
The hotel staff offered excellent assistance with directions. The breakfast buffet featured a variety of Turkish cheeses and olives. The location is close to major historical sites. Hagia Sophia is only a short walk away. The air conditioning in my room worked very well.
The street noise was quite loud, even late at night. The bathroom had a slight odor, and it was persistent.

The hotel enjoys an unbeatable location near main attractions. I found Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia a short walk. The terrace offers great views. Rooms were clean.
I did notice a sewage smell in the bathroom. This made the room uncomfortable sometimes. The windy staircase wasnt easy to traverse.
