Our stay was okay, but it could have been better.
The hotel is small but has the essentials. We were given a room with two single beds pushed together, even though we were a couple, which was a bit disappointing.
The location is convenient — close to the main mosques and surrounded by restaurants and shops. However, the constant pressure from vendors to buy things made the area a bit overwhelming and less enjoyable.
The hotel advertises rooms with a view of the Bosphorus, but from our room, the view was very limited — barely visible, to be honest, and not what we expected.
They also sold us a tour that honestly wasn’t worth the price. We weren’t informed about the dress code for the sites we were visiting until the tour had already started, which forced us to buy scarves to cover our knees and heads. A simple heads-up would have made a big difference.
Overall, the experience was just okay — not terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
