helpful staff good location fresh option hot water
Ibrahim was very helpful. The location was good for exploring the Grand Bazaar. It was very close. The mattress in my room felt firm, and I slept well. I got good rest.
The breakfast was not great. It lacked fresh options. There was a lot of noise in the hotel, especially on the upper floors. Hot water took a while to arrive.
