major attractions relaxing space breakfast option
The location proved very convenient. It allowed easy access to major attractions by foot. The roof terrace offered a relaxing space with views of the Marmara Sea. I enjoyed coffee there. Breakfast included many options (better than typical hotels).
The absence of an elevator made accessing upper floors slightly inconvenient.

Acceptable stay with a view
rooftop terrace sea view helpful staff local attractions breakfast freshness limited options dirty bathroom
The hotel boasts a beautiful rooftop terrace (i spent some time up there). It offers views of Little Hagia Sofia and the sea. The staff at reception are helpful. They provided information about local attractions.
The breakfast was not great. The freshness and options were disappointing. My room had a sink outside the bathroom. The bathroom in general wasn't very clean.
