The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Sultanahmet district, making it easy to explore all the major attractions on foot. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable, although soundproofing could be improved. The staff were incredibly friendly and even surprised me with a birthday cake during my stay. However, the dining options could use a bit of variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, it's great value for money considering the superb location.
