The staff was so friendly and so helpful with scheduling my airport shuttles, suggestions of where to visit in the city, and even offering me a delicious homemade lemonade after I returned from a hot Istanbul day of walking around. Service felt very personal, and rooms were exactly as advertised. Great connections to the metro and walkable to everywhere.
