poor varietyineffective air conditioning
the breakfast was indeed very basic. there was little variety and some items were not replenished quickly enough (i saw many empty trays) (especially the pastries). the noise from nearby establishments at night was also a problem. music and street noise made it difficult to sleep before midnight, street noise, . the air conditioning was not very effective at all.

The location was ideal near Sultan Ahmet. It was very close to main restaurants.
The cleaner threw MY personal belongings into the garbage. This included my clothes, under the false assumption that I was checking out. I had paid for my entire stay in advance.

the location provided easy access to the main mosques. the staff were helpful throughout my stay. receptionist doğa provided valuable information. i really liked the view from the canteen on the top floor, and it allowed me to see the sea and the nice areas around.
