Large room for 5 adults. Not huge but spacious enough. Bathroom well sized and shower was great by European standards. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Take advantage of their offer to arrange rides and tours. Location perfect for the big sights like Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi palace. Lots of restraints within easy walking. Definitely would stay again.
