My stay at Albinas Hotel Old City was largely enjoyable, with helpful staff and a superb location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace with stunning views was a highlight, even if the variety could improve. I did encounter a few inconveniences, such as noise from the air conditioning and a less than ideal view from my room, but overall, it was a solid experience.
