I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, as the location was fantastic, with main attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia within walking distance. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when it came to organizing transportation and making my stay comfortable. I loved the breakfast and enjoyed sipping Turkish coffee outside while soaking in the charming street atmosphere.
