prime location helpful staff fresh fruit
The hotel's location was excellent. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia were a short walk away. The staff were helpful. They assisted with our questions. The breakfast offered many choices including fresh fruits and pastries. I appreciated the bed. It was very comfortable.
The bathroom was a half bath. It lacked a plug. I was unable to enjoy a full bath. Slippers were not provided, nor were the usual free toiletries.

I was very close to main attractions and a quick walk to the tram line. The breakfast on the terrace was amazing, especially the view of Sultan Ahmed Mosque. The staff helped me a lot. They answered every question I had. The hotel's location made sightseeing so easy.
The lighting in the room wasn't very good for reading at night. The room needed a brighter lamp.
