My stay at the hotel was just perfect. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the necessary amenities, but it was quite small. The service was top-notch and very pleasant, just a small preference issue with the cuisine. The location was absolutely ideal, right at the center of Istanbul with convenient access to tourist spots. The dining experience was delicious and satisfying, although not extensive. Overall, a great value for money.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The room was large and comfortable with a great window view, but for a double deluxe room, it was super small. The service was helpful and friendly, especially speaking Arabic which was really helpful and nice for those wanting to visit many places in Istanbul. The location is not bad at all, although it is at the center of Istanbul, which is perfect for exploring the old city. The dining experience was pretty average catered for Turkish tastes. The facilities were good, but there could be some improvements.
