8/10 Good
"The hotel overall is lovely. Good lobation in that it’s easy to reach the central Sultanhamet area although it’s worth noting that it’s a bit of an uphill stroll to reach that area. There’s a lovely pool and spa area with free use of sauna, steam room and hamam. There’s a few maintenance issues we noted. The shower door came off its runners most days and an electric socket near a basin was hanging out of the wall. The room in the annex building was nice though. Big shower. Access to the room was on marble steps with no handrails so if you used any walking aid you wouldn’t find those steps easy. Most staff great but one or two a little less customer focused. Would I stay there again. Yes certainly"
