i enjoyed the amazing location near main attractions. topkapi palace, blue mosque and haghia sophia were a few steps. the grand bazaar was about 15 minutes by foot and the streets are full of life! personnel is friendly and ready to assist at any time.

the breakfast had plates often missing. also, food ran out before i could eat. the breakfast, included in my stay, was disappointing.
