The staff showed great kindness. They assisted with every request. The air conditioning worked perfectly. Rooms had effective soundproofing. I appreciate the hotel proximity to main tourist spots including the Blue Mosque. Grand Bazaar was a short walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Breakfast did not fully meet expectations. The variety was limited. Some items seemed less fresh. I think improvements are possible.

The breakfast offered many choices! It was a Turkish buffet. The hotel's location is very central. Most tourist attractions are only about 10 minutes away by walking! There is also a tram stop just five minutes away. The staff members were friendly and polite, always accommodating my needs.

The room was not soundproofed very well, and I could hear noises from neighboring rooms.
