Good value for the price
Pros:

Very close to both the Grand Bazar and the Egyptian Bazar, also to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica cistern. Very friendly staff. The room was clean, pretty comfortable and thankfully very noise-free and the breakfast was good also.

ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!!!
Pros:

Breakfast was okay ig

Cons:

Horrible horrible horrible staff. They gave us the wrong room, when we complained they came to our room, and rudely asked us to leave in the middle of the night if we dont like the room.

Thankfully as a genius lvl 3, I could call booking.com to resolve the situation a bit (which was still useless tbh)

And if that is not enough, since they knew that I complained about them, constant harassment during the stay was normal occurrence.

I’ve been using booking.com for years, this has to be the worst stay I’ve ever encountered.

Pros:

Locația bună, in apropiere de multe atracții turistice. Personalul amabil. Curățenie in fiecare zi.

Cons:

Camerele foarte mici, cu miros de mucegai, nu corespunde cu pozele. Baia veche, mucegai.
