decent location but some drawbacks
great location helpful staff easy access small room inaccurate description strong smell
the hotel location is good for seeing the main attractions. the blue mosque and hagia sophia are a short walk. staff were helpful in giving directions and answering questions.
the room i stayed in was quite small. it did not match the size described on the website. the bathroom had a noticeable smell of air freshener that was quite strong.

friendly staff ensuite bathroom
The reception staff were friendly and helpful. i noticed muharrem was especially kind. the hotel's aroma was nice and relaxing, a tender touch that calmed my soul. the room was very close to hagia sophia, a brief walk to beauty. newly renovated, the room was a great size. i adored the ensuite bathroom. It felt fresh and new.
i found that the soundproofing in the rooms could be improved. a little noise travelled from outside.
