I recently stayed at Edibe Sultan Hotel for three nights, and while there were some ups and downs, it was a decent experience overall. The location couldn't be better, just a short stroll from iconic sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast variety—it got repetitive—and the room, while clean, was pretty small. Still, the friendly staff made my stay more enjoyable.

My stay at Edibe Sultan Hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The service was really good, with staff always going above and beyond to assist me, but the room left much to be desired due to its aging infrastructure. The air-conditioning was not very effective, and I could hear every sound from the neighboring toilet, making it hard to relax at times.

Rooms

While the room was clean, I experienced some issues with the facilities. The shower was too compact for comfort, and the thin walls made it feel less private than I'd hoped. Additionally, my friend's room lacked a working TV, which added to our dissatisfaction overall.
