central location roof terrace mosque view small room inconvenient drop-off tram noise
the location was central. i could easily walk to major attractions from the hotel. the breakfast on the roof terrace was a plus. the view of the blue mosque from there was great too.
The room was quite small. the taxi could not drop me off directly outside the hotel. That was inconvenient. the noise from the tram was noticeable at times, especially at night.

Satisfactory Stay Near the Landmarks

superb location fresh fruit small room street noise
The hotel's location was superb. I could easily walk to the Hagia Sophia and other major attractions. The breakfast offered a nice selection of foods. I especially loved the fresh fruit and pastries. It was a great way to start the day.
My room was rather small. It felt cramped, especially with luggage. I also noticed some noise from the street at night. The sounds kept me awake a few times.
