I had an interesting stay at Valdivia Hotel. The location was super convenient for hitting up major sights like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, which I loved. However, the room situation was a struggle, as I got shuffled around a bit, and the amenities weren't as appealing as I hoped. Breakfast was pretty basic too, but the staff did have a welcoming vibe that made things a bit better.

The room I got was clean and spacious enough, but I did face some issues like poor drainage in the shower and unexpected noise from the terrace. Some rooms seemed cramped for the price, but overall, they were decent.

The staff were friendly and tried their best to help, especially the main receptionist. However, I often found no one at the reception, which made things tricky when I needed assistance. Communication was hit or miss, so that was a bit frustrating.

The location was a major highlight. It was right in the center of historic Istanbul, surrounded by great restaurants and close to all the main attractions, making it super easy to get around.

Breakfast was really basic - just bread, cheese, and some spreads, and the restaurant's lunch was good but pricier compared to local spots. I found better dining options around the hotel.

The facilities were okay, but lacked some essentials like reliable internet and better upkeep in some areas. It could definitely use some upgrades to enhance the experience.

My stay had its ups and downs. On one hand, the location was fantastic, just a short walk from attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, check-in was a hassle, as I was unexpectedly sent to another hotel for the first night, which was disappointing. The room I eventually received was clean and had a nice balcony, but the amenities needed improvement, like the bathroom fixtures.
