The hotel was conveniently located in a quiet street at walking distance from some Hagia Sophia Mosque and the Topkapi palace. The room was overly clean but small considering it was advertised a “Deluxe Bedroom”. On the first morning, Maria said that the breakfast was graciously included free of charge only to turn around and ask me to pay for it on the morning that I was checking out. I paid a hefty 10€ for two breakfast and given I had a coffee a barely ate anything, that’s expensive for Istanbul! I wouldn’t have sat down for it if I had known that it was not included.
