I had a pleasantly cozy stay at Old City Viva Hotel, thanks to its warm staff and ideal location near major attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. While the breakfast spread was surprisingly good, and the fast Wi-Fi was a bonus, I did encounter a minor issue with the room cleaning schedule not being as flexible as I would prefer. However, the room was clean and provided a comfortable haven after a long day of exploring. Overall, I'd choose this hotel again without hesitation.

I stayed at Old City Viva Hotel for three nights, and overall, it was a decent experience. The location is killer, within easy walking distance to all the major sights like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. However, the room was a bit cramped, and the street noise could be pretty loud. While the staff was super friendly and accommodating, there were a few hiccups with the breakfast service that could use some attention.
