turkish delights perfect location spacious room

The hotel offers a hearty breakfast with several turkish delights. The location is perfect. It is a short walk to the Blue Mosque. I appreciated the spacious room. I could open both my big and medium luggage at the same time.

The coffee machine did not make quality drinks.

Okay hotel with a good location

good location helpful staff breakfast view small room faulty drawer difficult safe

The hotel is near the Blue Mosque. The location is within walking distance of other attractions like Topkapi Palace. I liked that the breakfast had a view of the Blue Mosque. The staff were very helpful .

My room was smaller than expected. It was hard to put my luggage anywhere. Some of the drawers did not open easily. The safe did not work well, so I stopped using it.
