Room were good size however bathroom were slightly on the small size. Breakfast could do with a little bit more choice. The reception staff were great and helpful.
Location is slightly hidden so better directions to get to it would be helpful

Room was great, breakfast is good and service without flaw but you really want to go there for the location and rooftop terrace. 3 minutes of walking from Sultanahmet and lot of restaurants. View from the rooftop is stunning and it is great to watch sunset from there. Also plenty of cute cats all around.
