Acceptable stay, some minor issues

friendly staff charming ambience small room broken door
The staff was friendly. They were helpful . The location is convenient, near the Spice Bazaar. The building has a charming ambience.
The room was adequate. It had a great view of the Mosque, BUT you had to climb over the bed to get to the window. There was no place to lay out an open suitcase. The bathroom door was a folding door that did NOT quite open ALL the way.

The location was unbeatable. Grand bazaar and spice bazaar were so close. the staff helped me navigate the area. they suggested reputable retailers. i found this especially useful since i wanted to purchase some authentic goods.
the only minor inconvenience was that i could sometimes hear street noise from my room at night. it wasn't constant, but noticeable at times.
