I had a mostly pleasant stay at the Senabil Hotel Old City & Spa, thanks to its excellent location near major attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. The staff was warm and eager to help, especially Mr. Ibrahim, who provided helpful tips (though I did encounter some mixed experiences with other staff). The breakfast offered a good variety, but I thought it could be better in terms of quality. Overall, the clean rooms and convenient amenities made it a good choice, despite a few hiccups during my visit.
