I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The location is fantastic, with easy access to shopping spots and major attractions. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were some instances where they seemed more focused on upselling.

The hotel was in a very central location, ideal for exploring. The rooms were clean, quiet, and modern, though slightly lacking in space for personal items. The service was exceptionally helpful, especially in organizing gestures of kindness. The dining experience offered a good selection of dishes. The hotel's location, while convenient, was next to loud minaret speakers announcing prayers multiple times a day.
The hotel rooms have a beautiful view but are right next to the minaret speakers announcing prayers 5 times a day, starting as early as 6:30 am. Despite the noise from AC vents and kitchen exhausts, the room was fairly large and clean with a queen-sized bed and a twin-sized bed. Avoid rooms exposed to full sun all day, although the air conditioning helps mitigate the heat.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were pretty basic and on the small side, but that wasn't an issue for me as I only used them for sleeping. It was great that there was a refrigerator available, although I missed having a clock and tea/coffee making facilities. The view of the trams passing by was enjoyable, and I appreciated the absence of any stale cigarette smell.
I found the hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The rooms were clean and well-kept, providing a pleasant stay. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. However, the lack of certain amenities in the rooms was a minor drawback.

Overall, a comfortable and convenient hotel worth considering for your stay.
The hotel is ideally located near the Grand Bazaar, making it perfect for shopping and exploring the city. The rooms are clean and modern, but the triple room felt a bit cramped. The service was satisfactory, with a friendly staff and delicious breakfast.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a beautiful view but is located next to loud minaret speakers announcing prayers daily. The rooms are large with cozy beds and a spacious ensuite, although some rooms may get hot during the day. The service is a mixed bag with helpful assistance for day trips but also attempts to steer guests for commissions and occasional rudeness.
