“This hotel struck me as a particularly welcoming spot in Istanbul, especially for those seeking a friendly, almost familial atmosphere. I noted the appeal for budget-conscious travelers who don't want to sacrifice cultural immersion; it seems to balance affordability with genuine local experiences. The presence of resident pets also creates a memorable, home-like environment that's hard to replicate.”
