My stay at The Parma Hotel Downtown in Istanbul was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious, clean, and had a good shower with warm water and nice pressure. However, the breakfast left much to be desired, making me sick to the point that I had to rely on food from a convenience store nearby. Additionally, the hotel's location, while central, had its downsides like loud prayer calls from the nearby mosque and weak Wi-Fi.

Being in the historic section made it easy for me to walk to local attractions, like the Blue Mosque. I felt safe exploring the area, even at night. However, getting to the nearest tram or metro station took about 10-15 minutes, which could be inconvenient.
