“What stands out is its location, giving immediate access to both the historic heart and modern arteries of Istanbul. While the immediate area may present a less polished facade to some, the hotel itself provides a secure and well-equipped environment; in particular, I noted the comprehensive safety measures. A definite plus is the included breakfast and on-site cultural activities.”
