Reviews
However, please be aware the big drawback is the food in this area. It seems all restaurants offer the same exact menu and at the same exorbitant prices. The food portions are really very small, leaving one only half full. They charge for everything, even the sauces and dips. This was very surprising to us as we had had a different impression of Turkish food and hospitality. Quite disappointing really. In the end, the best value for money was McDonald's!

The management was very cooperative and helpful, the cleaning services were on point and the distance from the Blue mosque were all pluses for me!
Would definitely visit again in the near future.
The rooms were not clean, beds were uncomfortable, and to make matters worse, the sheets were not changed throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel lacks both hygiene and hospitality. I would not recommend it and will definitely not be returning.
