The room i got wasn't quite what i expected. it was small, especially the bathroom. the bed felt too hard for my liking. plus, i could hear a nearby mosque starting around 4 a.m.. Earplugs are a must here.

The location was special. I could easily reach ayasofya, the blue mosque, and the grand bazaar. the staff had a friendly demeanor, it was like a personalized and comfortable retreat. the rooftop restaurant elevated breakfast into a nice occasion, the panoramic views were AMAZING!!!
the standard room had no window for natural light. i could easily hear noise from other rooms, this negatively impacted sleep quality.
