My stay at Mevlana Hotel in Istanbul had its highs and lows. The location was truly a highlight, just a short walk from iconic sites like the Blue Mosque. However, I faced a few inconveniences, particularly with the room assignment and some service lapses. Breakfast was underwhelming, lacking variety and freshness. Overall, while it’s a charming spot with potential, there are areas that need improvement.

The room I was assigned was small but clean, yet it lacked the comfort I expected initially due to being placed in a basement room. Upon moving to my reserved superior room, it was much nicer and offered the amenities I needed.
