The hotel is very close to major attractions. the blue mosque and hagia sophia are just a short walk away. the tram station is also nearby, it provided easy access to other parts of the city. i got a room with a small fridge. It was helpful for storing drinks.
my room faced an interior courtyard. it meant that natural light was limited.

mixed experience at this hotel

convenient locationsmall roomlimited breakfast
the location was acceptable, providing easy access to the main attractions.
My room was quite small, difficult to store luggage comfortably. the lack of space impacted my overall experience, limiting my ability to fully settle in and relax .. the breakfast options also seemed limited. More variety would have been appreciated.
