perfect locationhelpful staffsmall roomnarrow bed

The location was perfect. It was close to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque (i could walk there in less than 5 minutes). The hotel staff was very helpful. They gave me tips for shopping.

My room was very small. The beds were also narrower than standard. The ac blew hard on one of the beds. It was difficult to adjust the direction of the airflow.

The location was convenient with the tram stop right outside.

The rooms were very small. I had to pay extra for a slightly larger one. even that room felt cramped. The noise was also a problem. I could clearly hear the tram and other street sounds.
