This was a great hotel experience! The young staff were amazing, spoke fluent English, and really cared for you. Do yourself a favor and accept their room walk-through when you first check in. They will show you how to work the shower and the air conditioning, which both need instructions to work optimally. Generally, you have to run the hot water for a bit before it gets really hot. And you have to wait for the AC to kick in. So be patient. Water pressure is always amazing and you can get your room to feel like an ice box if you know how to operate your AC unit. Breakfast is delicious every morning. Lots of fresh breads, cheeses, fruits and veggies plus hot options (fried peppers and mushrooms, sausage, and delicious scrambled eggs shakshuka). Yes, every night there is live music in the courtyard restaurant, but it always stops at 11 pm. The restaurant has an excellent menu with an impressive wine list (try Narince wine, local Turkish grape, yummy). Do know that this hotel is housed in a historic building on the edge of the bazaar that used to be an inn long time ago. It is located on Havra Street, which is known as the Synagogue Street (used to be a Jewish neighborhood). Outside of the hotel, there is a food market (yes, with a few fish mongers -- but you never smell the fish at the hotel, just on the way to it) with lots of fresh produce, traditional sweets, and spices. Overall, you could not ask for a better location!
