Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness could improve — The rooms and cleanliness category scores only 6 out of 10, the lowest of all categories, suggesting guests may have mixed feelings about the condition of the rooms or housekeeping.
- Breakfast gets mixed feedback — One review simply says 'Everything but breakfast!!!', indicating that breakfast may not meet expectations despite high overall satisfaction.
- Location not in the heart of old town — While the hotel is on the European side, it's about 7 km from Suleymaniye Mosque, meaning major sights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia require a commute. The location rating is 7 out of 10, slightly below the overall score.
