The hotel is in a convenient location steps away from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are cozy and spotless, but make sure to confirm the window only faces the corridor. While the service is generally helpful and friendly, watch out for the exchange rate. The dining options are decent but could be improved with more variety. Overall, a good choice for travel with some minor room details to consider.
