Experience of the stay
A budget-friendly hotel in the old town of Istanbul with easy access to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia via tram. The room was clean and spacious, and there was a restaurant in the lobby. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and there was a cat that roamed freely. I didn’t see any convenience stores in Istanbul, but there was a small shop directly across from the hotel where I could easily get snacks and drinks. A bit of walking revealed restaurants and bars like a nightlife area.
Experiences during the trip
I took a boat to the Asian side. There was a harbor, and I bought stuffed mussels with pilaf and mackerel sandwiches sold near the harbor to eat at the hotel. It was very delicious and highly recommended. Istanbul has beautiful scenery everywhere, making for great pictures.
