A Decent Stay Near Popular Attractions
close location fresh option high noise faulty minibar
The hotel is very close to many attractions. I could easily walk to the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia from the hotel. Breakfast was also good. There were fresh options available.
The noise levels were high at times. I often heard neighbors banging doors early in the morning and late at night. The minibar in my room did not work . I notified staff, but the problem was not fixed.

Acceptable stay, but some issues need attention
constant noise limited breakfast selection
The location was excellent, as it was just a short walk to many major tourist attractions.
The noise was a significant issue. There is a mosque nearby broadcasting prayers at 7 AM daily. The walls seemed thin, and neighbors often banged doors early in the morning and late at night. The breakfast room was also quite small, and the selection was not great.
