FANTASTIC Stay!

ideal locationhelpful staffbasic equipment
The location is IDEAL. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are very close. The staff were helpful, even arranging a birthday cake for my daughter. Food is also readily available RIGHT outside.
The gym was not properly equipped. It only had very basic equipment with little variety. The hotel should invest in better equipment to improve the wellness experience.
