The staff was helpful and polite at all times. I asked for assistance late at night and they provided it promptly. The rooms were cleaned every day. Breakfast included a variety of options each morning (especially the fresh fruit).

The street noise was slightly noticeable in the mornings.

The hotel is situated close to several main attractions. Walking to the metro station takes only three minutes, great for easy access to distant sites. Sultanahmet Square is also easily accessible, with a central point for exploring.
