Would not recommend
Pros:

Okay location - 15 minute walk from sultanahmet. Breakfast was good. Friendly staff

Cons:

Bathroom sink pipe wasn’t attatched properly so bathroom stank of sewerage. There was mold in bathroom and no ventilation. Air conditioner in room also turned off every 20 minutes which was annoying.

Pros:

The staff was really nice. They really helped us out by keeping our luggage for free. We wanted to explore other cities of turkey but we didn't want to carry our suitcases. Even tho we had one day of stay with them but they kept our luggage for couple of days.

Pros:

Отличное расположение отеля, все достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. В номере есть все необходимое. Персонал русскоговорящий, подскажет куда сходить, как добраться. Кровать и подушки изумительные, после долгих прогулок самое оно.

Cons:

Есть лишь только один нюанс это завтрак. Он вкусный, но изо дня в день один и тот же.
Совет: внести разнообразие, чередовать день через день.
