My stay at Aspen Hotel & Spa Istanbul Old City had its ups and downs. The location was superb for exploring the city, with easy access to public transport and local eateries. However, the overall service left much to be desired, as some staff were not very polite or helpful at times. Additionally, the breakfast options were lacking, especially for someone like me who is a vegetarian.

While breakfast had some options, it was generally quite poor, with limited choices and occasional lack of fresh fruits. I found it funny that toast cost extra, which felt a bit ridiculous.

The hotel's location is truly unbeatable. it's just a short walk to major sites like the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, plus easy access to public transport and local shops, which I found very convenient.

Breakfast options were quite limited, and disappointing. I found that I had to pay extra just for basic items like toast or eggs, and the variety provided mainly consisted of cheese and bread.

The hotel advertised a pool, which was a significant factor in my choosing it. but it was closed for maintenance during my entire stay, and that caused a lot of frustration, especially traveling with children.
