Conveniently located hotel
Well located hotel made it easy to walk to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, and much more. Room was ground floor, subject to street noise. Ensuite bath was clean, but had plumbing isse that was not resolved during my stay (constant leak in toilet). Breakfast was filling and tasty - including items not normally considered breakfast foods (salad?) Room lights needed attention by electrician - flickering occasionally.
