Excellent Location and Staff

helpful staff large windows marble tiles
The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Ahmet. The room was spacious and had large windows. The bathroom featured marble tiles and a large shower enclosure. I found the bedlinen quality to be very good. The location is fantastic, with minutes to Sultanahmet Square.
The main issue was the noise level. The walls seemed thin, and I could hear neighbors banging doors in the morning. The mosque nearby also broadcasts prayers at 7 AM, which can be disruptive. This made sleeping difficult.
