quite small small room

The location was excellent. The hotel was clean, and the breakfast was good.

The room was quite small. Maneuvering around the luggage was a challenge. Honestly, it felt a bit cramped.

Historical Gem with Bosphorus Views!!!

prime spot rooftop terrace wide variety

The hotel provided a prime spot directly across from the Sultanahmet tram stop. I enjoyed the convenience for visiting all the major sights. The rooftop terrace had amazing views. I took many photos of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Breakfast offered a wide variety of Turkish food.

The room I initially booked was smaller than I anticipated.
