Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.26km from city center
A rather cozy hotel with a great first impression, as a local gentleman who spoke some Chinese was there during check-in. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location; it's just over a 10-minute walk to the attractions in the Old City (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia). From Istanbul Airport, it's also only a 5-minute walk to the hotel from the final stop of the Line 11 bus.
Facilities: Basic amenities are complete. While not luxurious, the mini-fridge was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast is a standard Turkish breakfast, and the coffee is very good.
Cleanliness: Satisfied. The room was clean and tidy; I didn't find any dirty spots.
Environment: The soundproofing is a bit average; you can clearly hear conversations outside the door. However, the hotel's location is relatively quiet, with no cars passing by the entrance. The dining area also has a peaceful atmosphere.
Service: The service was excellent. The front desk staff patiently answered guests' questions, gave me advice on getting to the airport, and even helped us store our luggage.
