“In my opinion, this hotel's prime asset is undeniably its location, a short walk from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque; some rooms even offer views of the Hagia Sofia, which, in my opinion, makes it exceptional. The rooms are more than adequate, especially when considering the affordability. I believe the rooftop terrace significantly enhances the stay, making it a worthwhile choice.”
