Initially I was staying only 3 nights but extended out to 7 as Istanbul has sooo much to explore & learn, especially if you like to pace yourself & take the culture in.
The staff very friendly & helpful, not pushy like you do tend to find on the streets with sellers etc. That’s a bit of an annoyance & they get a bit upset if you’re genuinely trying to get to your next museum/tourist destination or just kicking back wanting to watch the world go by.
My room was very clean & always tended too daily, which I didn’t expect but was grateful for.
Will definitely return & recommend to others!
