street sounds faulty shower

the staff were helpful enough with directions around town and that rooftop view during breakfast? it was ok.

The noise was unbelievable. i was on the third floor, and the street sounds reminded me of they were inside the room, even with the windows closed. The call to prayer was deafening every morning. also, the shower barely worked. It fluctuated between freezing and scalding with no in-between. i didn't get a single comfortable shower , frustrating.

poor soundproofing weak wi-fi

The soundproofing proved inadequate. I was awakened each morning by the call to prayer due to poorly sealed windows. significant gaps existed between the door and the floor, causing disturbances from hallway noise. the wi-fi signal strength was also consistently poor. it even cut out completely for an entire day.

rooftop view city navigation

The queen room was comfortable. The bathroom included complete amenities. The rooftop restaurant served fresh breakfast. Jihan welcomed me upon arrival, and Zeynep accommodated all concerns. I received helpful city navigation tips. The rooftop view is worth seeing.

The minaret with loud speakers is located in front of the building. Prayers occur every morning at sunrise. It woke me each day.
