Amazing Location and Friendly Staff!
central location caring staff great variety
The hotel's location is unbelievably central! I walked to major attractions with ease. Staff members were super caring. I started my days right with a great breakfast. There was so much variety!
The bathroom fan was broken and very loud. This made sleeping a little difficult. the shower tap dripped all night. It was a constant annoyance. They definitely need to fix those little things. It's distracting.

The hotel is practically next to the Hagia Sophia, a lovely site! It is also really close to various tourist spots. This is a great benefit, especially if you have limited time.

non-functional fan considerable noise
The location proved acceptable. It was very close to main attractions and transport links.
The fan in the bathroom did not function well and generated considerable noise. The shower tap dripped incessantly all night. This bathroom also showed a fair amount of mold.
