Ismail’s place has a wonderful location. It’s just minutes away from the Blue mosque. Ismail and his team are wonderful people. Very helpful and always offering you food and tea when they see you.
I did have to wait an hour or so for check in as the room wasn’t ready, even though I had arrived after the check in time and had informed the owner about my ETA. I was offered coffee and very delicious baklava while I waited.
The room itself is pretty. I wasn’t really given the room I paid for, Ismail did offer to replace but it was a little too late since I had already unpacked. The room I was given had everything except the minibar. Also it took forever for the room to cool since it had wall to wall windows.
