slightly underwhelmed. rooms not that great

tiny bathroom hallway noise
the location was acceptable, close to major attractions.
The room i got. A beautiful double room, was just not good. i was expecting much more considering the pictures online. the bathroom was tiny and the water pressure in the shower barely existed. also, you can hear everything going on in the hallway, so good luck sleeping in.

amazing stay!

polite staff great variety nicely designed bathrooms
the staff was so polite and always ready to help us! breakfast included a great variety of food. the rooms were very clean. i found the bathrooms nicely designed too. i loved that the hotel location was a short walk from major attractions like the blue mosque.
the windows did not block out sound very well. if people were talking in the corridor it was like they were in my room. also, the light control system was overcomplicated, with multiple bright electronic panels that sometimes turned on randomly at night.
