unsafe gym cold sauna

The location was good with easy access to many attractions.

The gym was a joke (honestly!). It was a tiny room without proper ventilation. Equipment looked old and unsafe. the sauna was often not turned on. I find this frustrating.

the location is very good for seeing main attractions. hagia sofia and the blue mosque were within walking distance. the room was very comfy and tidy.

the street outside was quite steep, it made access a little difficult for older people.
