Wonderful Stay in Sultanahmet
excellent servicepositive attitudeaffordable eateries
The location was great. Everything I wanted to see was within walking distance. The staff were helpful, especially Elif, Kasim, Enes, and Hamza. I would come back to this hotel because of their excellent service and positive attitude. The neighborhood also had nice, affordable restaurants to consider.
The standard rooms had bathrooms that were not well designed or maintained.
