decent stay overall

prime location helpful staff great view cable channels thin walls basic double
The location was a prime location right in the centre. the blue mosque was visible from the breakfast restaurant. It was a great view. the reception staff were very helpful, they even upgraded us when we arrived.
The cable channels on the tv did not work. i could hear the people next door talking. The walls were thin. the beautiful double is very basic. I expected more for the price.

Adequate Stay

ideal location tasty breakfast small room misleading photo
The location proved ideal. It offered close proximity to main attractions. A short walk got me to places like Hagia Sofia. Breakfast included a wide variety of tasty choices. The terrace offered nice views during breakfast. My kids felt welcomed. All the staff were really friendly.
I booked a room with what I expected to be three single beds. The photos online presented something different. The room felt much smaller than what was shown. There was no space for an additional extra bed.
