Guests consistently praise the hotel's prime location, just a short walk from major attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, as well as being surrounded by restaurants. The rooms are often described as modern, clean, and spacious, some even offering pleasant sea views; upgraded rooms have been a delightful surprise for some guests.

poor soundproofing disruptive noise
Breakfast included a lot of cheese and vegetables in accordance with local customs. Fresh bottled water was replenished in the room every day, which I found acceptable.
I encountered a problem with soundproofing . I could clearly hear noises and discussions from neighboring rooms, it was quite disruptive. The noise made it difficult to relax and sleep well. I think the hotel should really invest in better sound insulation.
