The hotel's location was super convenient! It was close to all the main attractions. The staff were also very kind and paid attention to my personal requests, which I really appreciated.
The room was unexpectedly bad! It was very small and the beds were not comfortable. I also heard a noise all day and night. It came from some pipes or something.

The rooftop terrace had magnificent views of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The breakfast options provided a good choice. The location was convenient with easy access to main attractions. I found the staff helpful.
The room felt small and I had little space to work around my luggage. The bathroom was also very small, uncomfortable for our room type. I think they should specify this more clearly. I also noted it was somewhat noisy with the window open.
