I had a mixed experience at The Parma Hotel Downtown. The room was spacious and clean, which I appreciated, but the breakfast options left much to be desired and I even ended up getting sick from it.

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.

My stay at The Parma Hotel Downtown had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, especially with the Grand Bazaar nearby. The room was clean and nicely decorated, but the breakfast left much to be desired. The service from the staff was friendly, but there were a few shortcomings that dampened the overall experience.
Rooms

The room was clean, well-decorated, and I even got a relatively spacious one. However, the lack of sufficient power sockets was a real issue since I had multiple devices to charge. Also, the air conditioning was quite noisy at night, which disrupted my sleep a bit.

The staff were friendly and eager to help. They assisted me with a few requests during my stay. My experience at the hotel spa, however, was disappointing. The massage felt more painful than relaxing, which was not what I expected.
Location

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.

While the dining options seemed appealing with plenty of choices, the breakfast quality was quite poor. I ended up skipping it after feeling unwell. I did find a nearby convenience store that helped my situation significantly.

The hotel offers various facilities including treatments at the spa and the availability of a mini hammam. But the Wi-Fi connection was weak, making it hard to stay connected from my room, which was quite frustrating.
