The hotel is close to all the main attractions. I could easily walk everywhere! There are also many parking lots nearby. I found one for a very reasonable price. The staff, especially Yunus, were friendly and very helpful to me . I really appreciated the good sleep quality after long, busy days of sightseeing.

The breakfast area sometimes had a little wait for plates during peak times.

the staff was generally helpful. the location was quite convenient with easy access to nearby attractions. the room included a mini fridge and a safety deposit box for valuables.

The breakfast selection was somewhat limited. the bathroom fixtures showed signs of wear. The showerhead was loose. the street outside was noisy at times. Light sleepers might find it disruptive.

I found the Turkish breakfast to be quite good. there was fresh cheese, olives, and simit offered each morning. the checkout process was smooth. It took hardly any time at all. i requested a taxi at the front desk, and staff arranged it without delay.

The photos online did not quite match the actual quality in person. they might have been taken some time ago. the street noise was noticeable. It was like sleeping outside. i could hear the imam's call to prayer every day after 5am.
