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.
