We completely enjoyed our visit.
Pros:

Excellent location close to all the historical sites and nice street cats. The Hagia Sophia was right outside my window! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The entrance was a bit awkward for people with mobility problems. It’s not possible to get a taxi direct to the door as the street is closed to cars.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία είναι πολυ βολική, ακριβώς δίπλα απο την Αγία Σοφία και πολυ κοντά στα περισσότερα σημεία ενδιαφέροντος. Το κρεβατι πολυ άνετο και υπήρχε ησυχία. Το προσωπικό ηταν πολυ εξυπηρετικό και 24/7. Το πρωινό ηταν φανταστικό, σερβιριστο, όχι μπουφες.

Η τοποθεσία και φυσικά το προσωπικό ήταν άριστα. Η φθορά του καταλύματος έχει αρχίσει να γίνεται εμφανής.

Ο εξοπλισμός θέλει ανακαίνιση
