The location was unbeatable! It was a short walk to the tram stops and main attractions. The Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia were all within easy walking distance. The staff was friendly and professional. They were always ready to help.
My room was quite small, that was a little disappointing. There wasn't much space to open my luggage fully. The minibar was empty, I found that inconvenient. The air conditioning did not seem to work very well.
