The breakfast staff was very friendly, especially mr Seçkin kaya. He was one of the kindest people. He was always willing to assist with a smile. The hotel is near gulhane station and park. Seckin kaya and beyza were helpful. They made special food for my mom, who IS diabetic.
The rooms had poor noise reduction. I could hear noises from the landing and floors, not ideal. The furniture looked old, and the place needs remodeling.
