the location was advantageous. it was only a short walk to many historical sites. the traditional turkish breakfast provided a good start to each day. the staff offered complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day, a nice touch.

the furniture was quite dated. the bathroom had a noticeable musty odor. the door showed signs of wear and tear, specifically some damage.
