This place has some excellent views of the Bosphorus and the neighborhood from the balcony, which is a big plus, but on the downside, the Bosphorus views are nice but not exceptional. The service was top-notch at all times. I can't say enough good things about the service quality. The location is super convenient, close to everything in Sultanahmet, which was a major perk. As for the dining, the self-made Turkish food was a highlight, but the lack of hot options was a bit disappointing. Overall, the facilities were modern and convenient, making my stay quite enjoyable.
