Every day we had to ask for extra towels as we were 3 in the room. Towels were very bad, looked like plastic. Room floor was very dirty. We believe that in the 5 days we stayed in the room, they never swept the floor.
Location is perfect, right between Topikapi and spice bazar. People were very nice and friendly. Always helpful. Breakfast was also good. Price was fair.

If being picky, I would have liked muesli, fruit and yoghurt on the breakfast buffet but there was otherwise plenty to choose from.
I think what stood out for us was the friendliness of the staff. They provided very helpful suggestions for things to do and places to eat. We were really grateful for the assistance with learning some Turkish language which made a real difference to us being so welcomed everywhere we went. The location was ideal as a short walk to many key sights and yet off the main drag so it was quiet.
