I had a great experience overall at the Grand Bazaar Hotel. The location was perfect for exploring key attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia, and the rooftop terrace offered some stunning views of the city. However, the road leading to the hotel can be tricky since it's frequently closed to cars, which made getting a taxi a bit of a hassle.

While the hotel didn't offer a restaurant, there were plenty of dining options nearby, though you do have to walk a bit to get to them. The lack of room service was a minor letdown but not a dealbreaker for me.

The rooftop view was a great spot for sipping tea at night, but I struggled a bit with the access since the street outside is often closed to cars. The staff was super friendly, although I did encounter a hiccup with my room booking that left me in a smaller space than expected.
