I enjoyed my stay at The Time Hotel Old City, mainly because of its prime location near all the major tourist spots. The breakfast spread was decent, though it could use a bit more variety, especially for vegetarian options. The staff, particularly Marina, were super friendly and attentive, which made my experience even better. However, I did notice the rooms could use some updates to keep things fresh and modern.

My week-long stay at The Time Hotel in Istanbul was marked by its fantastic location and friendly staff. It's conveniently close to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Sultanahmet, with easy tram access for further exploration. However, the hotel's dining options were rather limited, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a comfortable experience, thanks to the cleanliness and amenities, though I wish the food options were more varied.

During my stay at The Time Hotel Old City, I appreciated the friendly staff and the hotel’s close proximity to public transport, which made exploring Istanbul easy. However, I found the sound isolation from the street to be lacking, leading to some noisy nights. Additionally, the breakfast offerings, while reasonably varied, included some overly sweet drinks that didn't quite suit my taste.
