My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and cozy, the noise from the street was a big downside. The staff was tremendously helpful and friendly, making the service top-notch. The location was convenient for exploring Istanbul's main attractions, but the limited dining options were a bit of a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, but the one on the first floor facing the street was outdated and noisy. The service was excellent, with the staff being incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw away from the Blue Mosque. The dining offered a fantastic view, but the variety was limited.
