“For a modest price, this place is a find; it's close to main attractions like the Grand Bazaar and the Blue Mosque, and the staff genuinely seems to care about guests, better than some high-end hotels I've seen. The rooms are basic, but clean, and even a late arrival is no problem. Overall, a solid choice if you're watching your budget but still want a prime location.”
