okay stay with a major setback

the location was definitely convenient for seeing the main sites.

The room i was given was right above some sort of mechanical room or generator. There was a constant, low-frequency hum i could feel through the floor all night it made sleeping very difficult and was frustrating no one seemed to care when i mentioned it.

convenient location friendly staff rooftop breakfast small room electrical socket missing iron

The location was very convenient. It was easy to walk to many attractions. The staff was friendly (Ahmet was especially helpful). The breakfast on the rooftop was a good experience.

The room was smaller than I expected. The electrical sockets required an adapter, not ideal. There was no iron in the room so I couldn't iron my shirts.
