Calm area in the middle of the city. Close to bus stop which can take you further into the city for example to the tram station to continue to the Blue Mosque. I only stayed there for one night so didn't explore too much the area close by, but found it quite comfortable for the time I was there.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
