With the
Blue Mosque almost on the doorstep, and many other places of interest within

With lots to see and do you need to have a good breakfast on a morning to fuel you for the day ahead. Guests enjoy their breakfast at this hotel saying that there is a good choice, that it is hearty, healthy and everything is fresh and tasty.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Not all accommodation is in the main building
Guests like the main hotel building. However, not all accommodation is based here. Annex guests say it is poorly maintained, badly lit and there is no lift. Guests in the basement rooms are similarly unimpressed with maintenance and quality of the accommodation.
negative:
Slow Wi-Fi
While
guests like that free Wi-Fi is included at this hotel, some guests say that the
service is not very good and it only works slowly. So it may not be sufficient
for services that require a good speed, such as streaming, although you will be
able to stay in touch.
negative:
No kettle in room
Some guests have said it would have been a good addition if rooms also included a kettle. This way, guests would have the convenience of being able to prepare their own hot drinks.
