I had quite an experience at Danis Hotel & Spa Istanbul - Old City. While the hotel's prime location allowed easy access to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar, I was disappointed with the service and cleanliness of my room. The staff at the reception were unfriendly, and I encountered issues ranging from a leak in the room to inadequate breakfast options. Unfortunately, the overall service standards were not up to par, which detracted from the stay. 😕
