The staff is really nice and helpful. They are also very accommodating as we were fasting for Ramadan. They wrapped our breakfast and kept it in their kitchen and allowed us to use the microwave whenever we needed. They also booked our tours. The hotel is in a very convenient location right near SultanAhmet and the tourist attractions. The rooms are very small and there is no elevator.
