Excellent Service and Location

quick answersattentive staffconvenient locationnight noise

The staff answered my questions quickly. I felt safe due to the attentive front desk staff. I appreciated the convenient location near main attractions. I could walk to most sites. The Turkish breakfast included many options.

The room faced a side street and I heard noise at night. Trucks loaded and unloaded in the streets. The windows helped block the sound, but the AC then ran frequently.

The hotel features a breakfast area where a Turkish breakfast is served. The front desk operates 24/7, I found this very useful. A WhatsApp number provides constant contact with the staff for any assistance needed.
