This hotel is in a perfect location, just a short walk from the main attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms exceeded my expectations, being both clean and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even better. However, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking for my taste, particularly in terms of variety for vegetarians. Overall, it's a great value for money, but the limited breakfast options could use some improvement.
