My stay at The Million Stone Hotel was mostly enjoyable, with its fantastic location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff went out of their way to provide me with helpful tips and even facilitated an early check-in after my early arrival. However, the room was a bit smaller than anticipated, and there's quite a bit of stairs to navigate since there's no lift. Overall, a great choice for exploring Istanbul!
