The venue was quirky and great, I truly enjoyed the stay and the location was excellent very close to the Grand Bazar, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and other tourist attractions and restaurants. I could see city from the superior quadruple room. It was reasonably spacious and I had central heating, iron/ironing board, and an electronic key card. The staff was dedicated, extraordinarily friendly, and everything was really good. Had a good time.

The hotel was a good choice for enjoying a touristic area, next to the common transports. The room was new-fashioned, had great and included an electric kettle and a fridge. The clean bathroom was the best. The location was convenient and top for walking around an art museum. I stayed in this venue for 4 nights and loved it.
