super clean housekeepingconvenient locationvarious foods
the breakfast offered various foods. housekeeping kept my room super clean. the location is quite convenient for visiting many attractions. i walked to the grand bazaar and the blue mosque.
the street outside the hotel was sometimes closed to traffic. this closure meant i had a longer walk with my luggage, but it was manageable.

Mr. Aydin Yildirim was Really good. He always assisted me with anything I needed. I also appreciated the hotel's location near major attractions. Water bottles were available daily in my room, which I really needed.
The road closures made taxi access difficult. It was challenging to arrive or depart with a taxi or car. Public transport is best during rush hours.
