Service can be slow and sometimes and you may not get something you request right away so it required some planning ahead. It is a hotel with a long history and survived the test of time. It’s a great area, close to the popular tourist spots such as hagia sophia, the blue mosque, sistine chapel, grand bazaar - all within walking distance. I had a decent view of the sea. The personnel checked in with me from time to time to make sure i was comfortable and i didn’t need anything. Overall it was a good hotel. I would stay there again and recommend it to others. If the service was more consistently prompt, I would’ve rated it higher.
