Not as per photos

It as very disappointed to see that the room and common areas are not at all the same as shown in the pictures shared in hotels.com. Breakfast is not great quality and do have some varieties. The staff are fine and polite. Overall the building is old and shabby.

The hotel is very close to all the main attractions in the old city/sultanahmet area. 10 minutes or less walk to Ayasofia, Blue Mosque, Tokapi Palace and others.
