I had a delightful stay at the hotel, primarily due to its fantastic location in the historical district, making it super easy to explore major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The Turkish breakfast served at the sister hotel was a highlight, offering both quality and beautiful views. The friendly staff, especially Aziz, made me feel well taken care of throughout my visit. However, the dining options could benefit from a bit more variety, and I did notice the need for some improvements in room amenities like additional bathroom pegs.

The staff was exceptionally helpful, especially Aziz, who went out of his way to assist me. I loved the unique Turkish breakfast served on the terrace with breathtaking views, but I wish the dining options for lunch and dinner provided a bit more variety. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, but there are a couple of areas where they could improve.
