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.
