10/10 Excellent
"I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the room. It looks much better in person than it does in the pictures. Everything is brand new. The balcony was a big plus and the people at the front desk were very helpful. The location was superb because every night after dinner, we could take a walk around the hippodrome and see the beautiful mosque and Haige Sophia, we were immersed in the history. It was walkable to most of the major sites as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it highly for those who love to be by historical locations, and have excellent accommodations as well. it was such a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend it and stay there again."
