What was good

Very convenient location, close to Aya Sofia and Gulhane park, to Grand bazaar and Galich (Galata) bridge also. No need to walk around the bush - go from Chemberlish column along the tram line 1 for one minute, first turn to the left is yours (you can see Burger King on the opposite side of the road). Then go up for 2 minutes. That’s it. Their breakfast gave me an energy for at least half of a day (and I walked usually 20 - 25 km). It consists of a boiled egg, 4 sliced pieces of cucumber, 1 cherry tomato, 4 bread buns, a cup of coffee or tea (or altogether), a small slice of local cheese, and 5 small plastic containers (maybe, 20 gram or so; the same are given on board of a plane) with butter, honey, jam. It is definitely clean, and the staff is cleaning rooms, corridors, dining zone regularly. It is free of any kind of insects. Each morning vacant rooms are ventilated. Toilets and a shower are kept tidy. Very polite and helpful people are on the registration (front) desk. Work fast, do things well, always ready to advise to foreigners.

What was bad

Wi-fi works well only on one of your devices. I think, there is a kind of limitation (in access or speed) for one room. My IPad functioned flawless, but my telephone often lost internet connection.
