adequate stay overall

public transport historical attractions transition doors absence of windows

i REALLY liked that the hotel was near public transport. also ,it was very close to many historical attractions like the blue mosque and hagia sofia.

i booked a family room , but it turned out to be two rooms with transition doors. THE most disappointing thing was the absence of windows.

charming stay

excellent location helpful staff excellent building easy check-in

i really enjoyed the hotel's excellent location and the helpful staff. the building itself is quite excellent, i must say. check-in and check-out were both very easy processes (that's always a relief!), with the staff's assistance a real plus. the breakfast offered plenty of choices, certainly enough to start the day right.

The temperature control in the room wasn't quite right. It seemed stuck on summer mode, even though the weather was cooler.
