Alexandria 10.0

I like the location. Its just 5 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia. There’s a lot of eateries around the hotel too. Apart from that, the room is spotless and clean. There is bidet in the toilet and the shower water pressure is superb. The staff at the reception greets us everyday and I find it very pleasant. He was also very helpful and tried his best to accommodate us.

We had a great stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The location is right in the heart of the city, which made it easy to explore everything on foot, yet the hotel itself is peaceful and quiet inside. The room was clean, comfortable, and the whole place has a really charming atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again!
