My stay had some highlights and some setbacks. The hotel staff were generally polite and helpful, which made a positive impression. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to key sites like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. However, the room I received on arrival was not what I expected, and it did not feel as clean or well-maintained as I had hoped. The dining experience left something to be desired, especially regarding dinner at the Ottoman Restaurant. Overall, while there were enjoyable moments, several aspects could use significant improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The location was unbeatable, with so many iconic sites within walking distance, and the hospitality was top-notch. The breakfast was exceptional, showcasing delicious Turkish cuisine, though I felt the room could have been better sealed against outside smoke. The facilities, especially the pool area, offered a nice retreat after a busy day exploring the city.
