屋上からの景色はとても素晴らしいホテルです。 部屋はキレイに清掃されていましたが写真よりも古く感じました。 スタッフは皆あかるく挨拶もしてましたが、１つだけ朝食の際に私だけにはオムレツの案内が２日間ともありませんでした、アジア人だからなのか安い部屋だからなのか分かりませんが残念でした。

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was tidy and clean. Alot smaller than they appear on pictures. The bathroom and especially the toilet was really tight! Location wise its brilliant, right in between blue mosque and hagia sofia. Metro stop is in front too. Lots of eatries. One disadvantage is that the hotel is in between numerous restaurants and cafes. So if you get a room that is facing them it will likely be noisy till late. Staff were extremely helpful and polite. Breakfast was decent. The restaurant on 5th floor has view of the mosques which is pretty nice Would definitely consider staying again for a short stay maybe not with family.
