My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit small, but they did the job, and the furniture was a bit outdated. On the bright side, I had a lovely view of the Blue Mosque. The staff was really friendly and accommodating, although there was some late-night music that bothered me. The location was fantastic, just beside the Blue Mosque. The dining experience was satisfying, but I wished for a wider buffet selection and an earlier start time. Overall, it was a good value for the money.
