fantastic location, solid service

The location was central. it was close to major attractions and public transport. the rooftop terrace provided amazing views. I loved the complimentary coffee and tea available there throughout the day.
I noticed the room was quite small. there was limited space to move around the luggage. I felt a bigger room would have been better.

Adequate Stay With Some Issues
rooftop terrace helpful staff small room noisy environment
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.
