Staff was helpful. Location is excellent, walkable to most of the attractions in the old town. Free Turkish breakfast is a plus.
The property itself has some character and charm, but is a bit dated. We have no hot water for one night.

Great location - walking distance to everything. Very nice staff. I especially enjoyed breakfast made by Sabohat-- awesome home cooked food, welcoming attitude, outstanding customer service. Rooms are pretty small, but cute.
