We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
Pros:

I would especially like to thank Musa, Mert, Ali and Levent for their outstanding support and assistance throughout our stay. Their kindness, warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel truly welcome and helped make our experience even more enjoyable and safe.

The restaurant served delicious food in a beautiful and relaxing setting. The hotel’s location was also excellent, with the nearby bazaar, restaurants and historic mosques adding so much character and charm to our stay.

We are very grateful for the wonderful experience and would happily visit again!

Cons:

I wish our room contained a wetbar to allow us to heat up meals and or cook meals

Pros:

Es ist ein normales (schon ein wenig in die Jahre gekommenes) Hotel. Es hat soweit alles gepasst und war für unsere Reise zweckmäßig.

Cons:

Das Frühstück könnte ein klein wenig mehr Abwechslung vertragen.

I will not return to it again if there are no more hotels left in Istanbul.
Cons:

When I made the booking through the website, I requested an extra bed, and the hotel agreed to provide it. However, upon arrival at the hotel, they are demanding additional money for the extra bed.
