“In my opinion, this hotel, a short stroll from the Blue Mosque, excels with its rooftop terrace. The breakfast served there, against the backdrop of Istanbul's skyline, is remarkable. Moreover, I noticed the owner and staff are committed to providing a tailored experience, assisting with everything from excursions to airport transport.”

The included breakfast had many choices. The location was great I think. It was close to major attractions. The rooftop terrace was a real treat I believe.
The shower water went from hot to cold. It was not ideal I think. The rooftop was closed in the afternoon. I did not like being sold tours on arrival.

The hotel's location works well. It is really close to attractions, I liked that. Breakfast had plenty of choices. I liked that location central to main sights.
When I arrived, staff tried to sell me overpriced tours. The sales pitch took too long before I got my room key. Shower temperature fluctuated between hot and cold. It was not enjoyable.

i did not like being sold tours when i arrived. it is good to have information about activities. however, a sales pitch on overpriced tours for 15 minutes before giving out the room key is too much. the shower would alternate between very hot and very cold. this was not ideal.
