My stay at Sarnic Premier Hotel was enjoyable overall, thanks to its fantastic location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made my experience even better. However, I found the breakfast options somewhat limited compared to other hotels I've visited, and the dinner portions could have been more generous. Despite these minor drawbacks, I appreciated the quality of service and the hotel's ambiance, which made for a pleasant trip in Istanbul.
