good experience near historical sites
central location traditional breakfast helpful staff cozy decor
The hotel's location, a short walk from the blue mosque, made exploring very easy. the traditional breakfast included various meals and large portions. It was a great start to each day. the staff was helpful. They provided information and spoke english well. the decor in the rooms and common areas felt cozy and warm.
The rooms are small. I thought the price was too much for the size of the room.

Good location, some minor drawbacks
convenient location friendly staff good breakfast basic room high price absent terrace
The hotel's location is definitely a plus. It's really close to all the main sights!). The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also quite good with enough variety.
My room was pretty basic. It only had a bed and small table for coffee, very minimal features. The price felt high for what I got. I also thought that it lacked a rooftop terrace for relaxation.

the staff were very friendly and helpful. the location is great.. it is close to main tourist attractions. the breakfast was huge, with meats, cheeses, bread and pastries.
rooms are super modest, nothing more than a bed with a small table for tea or coffee. it offers only the bare minimum. i expected more from this hotel. it lacked a pleasant rooftop terrace.
