The hotel is in an excellent location. It is a minute away from Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The breakfast is tasty. Many options are available for vegetarians. The staff were very helpful, and they supported me in every way possible. I thank Hamza, the manager, for his care and attentiveness. He.
The coffee machine had pods only provided on the first day, a bit lacking. Some electric sockets were not working properly. The lighting was poor. More illumination would improve the room.
