I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, just a short walk from the Blue Mosque and other main attractions. However, the room I stayed in was quite uncomfortable due to the lack of a proper window and it was very cold. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I encountered some issues when trying to get directions to transportation. Overall, it's a good option for its location, but the room conditions left something to be desired.

The hotel has a great location, really close to all the main attractions in Istanbul, which made exploring the city a breeze.
