The breakfast is more than adequate and savoury with pancakes, more desserts and beautiful view, had everything you could imagine. The location is marvellous and lovely, and the area is nice walking distance to restaurants and eateries. Great nearby places include The Marquis of Westminster, we usually had drinks there.

The breakfast is more than adequate and savoury with an omelet and boiled eggs, and the service is very good. The atmosphere of the hotel is quiet. The location it offers is handy, close to Blue Mosque and Haga Sophia, local markets, shops & restaurants and tram stations and sightseeing.
It has very very bad views and the bathroom is very small.

The accommodation had a central location in old town. Moreover, it's close enough to the local bars, eateries and shopping, Blue Mosque, and bazar. The room I booked was updated and available with a very comfortable temperature, 2 single beds, for example. Having a hair dryer, a bidet and a walk-in shower was a bonus.
