I had a mixed bag of experiences at Stone Hotel Old City. The location was fantastic, putting me right in the heart of Sultanahmet, which was super convenient for exploring. However, I faced some real frustration with the service, especially during check-in when they insisted on cash instead of my credit card, despite previous warnings about double charges. The lack of hospitality left me feeling a bit neglected despite the attentive owner, Fatih, who did try to make me feel welcome.
