Excellent location.. 6 minute walk to the Blue Mosque.
Clean rooms and nice views.
The only negative is that the walls are paper thin and you will be able to hear everything , and I mean everything that goes on in the next room.

I really like the hotel and the area around. The only thing which they can improve on is to facilitate the customers a bit more. I booked 2 rooms for 5 persons but because of some confusion on the websites, it was booked for 4 persons instead of 5 but the rooms capacity was 5 persons. So they charged me around 130 US dollars extra which could have been easily avoided. Otherwise the hotel location and food were excellent.
