Great localization, comfortable apartment, friendly staff.

All good :)

The location is excellent. Right next to the Blue Mosque, with a stunning view of the sea from a steep, charming street. Two mosques are visible directly from the hotel, and the call to prayer can always be heard — truly magical. Plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby, plus a small supermarket with everything you need. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was cleaned daily.

The room is quite outdated and needs serious renovation. There is a hole in the wall where an outlet should be, and a nail sticking out of the wall — a real safety hazard. The bathroom window cannot be fully closed, which was fine in spring but would likely make the room very cold in winter. The bathroom light is also very dim, and there is no elevator — only a narrow staircase. The TV only offers Turkish channels, which may be an issue for international guests. One thing that stood out was the layout: to leave the hotel, you have to walk directly past the receptionist's desk and can see straight onto his screen. It often felt uncomfortable, as though you were interrupting him. Most importantly — the receptionists appear to work shifts of 14 to 15 hours or more. That is simply not acceptable, and I would strongly urge the owner to reflect on whether they would be willing to work under those same conditions.
