small roomrepetitive food
The room was quite small i didn't expect that. it looked much bigger in the pictures, i felt a bit misled by that. also, the breakfast was very repetitive. Every day it was the same food. i really wished there had been more variety offered, especially some fresh fruit.

Selman was very helpful prior to my arrival. He contacted me weeks in advance i felt very welcome. He arranged transport for my family. Selman also suggested restaurants and nice places for us to visit. The location is very convenient. Tourist attractions like the blue mosque are very close.
the stairs to the fourth-floor breakfast room were difficult for some members of my group.
