The staff were very friendly and ready to assist with anything I needed. However, I noticed that the hotel doesn't facilitate taxi arrangements or airport shuttles, which could be inconvenient for some travelers.

I had a good 6-night stay at Le Petit Palace Hotel. The location can't be beaten; it was just a short walk to all the major attractions in Istanbul's Old Town. The room was clean and cozy, and I really appreciated the hospitality of the staff who were always there to help. However, I did have an unfortunate experience with a massage service that was not up to par, which was disappointing.
