We stayed here for a week with our kids. The breakfast was okay. They have the traditional turkish breakfast with cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, egg, cheese and bread. Cereals for the kiddos. We checked in early, they were able to accommodate us 2 hours prior to checkin. Customer service was a little slow, but not terrible. The rooms are smaller, needs some repairs, holes on the walls and shower wasnt as clean as other hotels. After the first night i told my husband we need to check out and go someplace else.
However, upon exploring the area at night, we were surprised beyond belief. The hotel is literally a 2 minute walk to Arasta Bazaar! Maybe even less than that. Lovely, bright restaurants and cafes, tons and tons of shops. Happy about our discovery, we walked another 2-3 minutes and there was the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia! Every tourists dream. Since we stayed for a week, we saved SO much money just walking! Everything is literally right there! Nice Hanams (turkish bath), many many restaurants! Grand Bazaar was maybe a 15 minute walk. And right next door to the hotel is a Spa! Literally 3
5 steps away from the hotel. And even better, next to the spa is a travel agency where we booked our tickets to a dinner cruise. Sure the hotel isnt 5 star. But it was worth it for us. A place to sleep comfortably, have a simple breakfast, SAVE money. We ended up staying the entire time. Staff were friendly and gave us everything we needed. I will most definitely stay again!
