terrific views

I found the staff friendly and helpful. They gave great advice. the rooftop view is definitely lovely, the best i have seen! i purchased snacks and enjoyed the beautiful view of the city from the terrace every evening. the hotel's location made it easy to walk to all the sights i wanted to see.
the walls seemed paper thin, as i could hear some noise from neighboring rooms.

The terrace provides panoramic views. I could see Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus near the Marmara sea. inexpensive restaurants exist right outside the hotel, a nice perk. a government-sponsored cafeteria sits on the main street, offering affordable options.

The location was very convenient. Major attractions were accessible by walk from the hotel. The staff were friendly and cute. The rooftop terrace provided a really nice view.
The room had thin walls. I could hear noise from the adjacent room late into the night. The breakfast was not excellent. There weren't many options I considered to be real meals.
