The staff was friendly and very helpful. This hotel is a little older, needs a little updating paint and furniture. Could be a little cleaner, and there were four to five insects in my room. Oh and part of my shower door was missing.

Great location in very close proximity to Sultanahmet & Hagia Sophia Mosque. Very clean. Worth noting there is no restaurant so breakfast is not provided. I thought breakfast was included when booked but there are good food options in nearby.

I felt like i was camping in Istanbul. The bed was rock hard and the pillow not much softer. And, as the water heater was broken, all showers were done with cool water. It does wake you up, but not what i was looking for. It took five days of our six day stay to get hot water. Istanbul was great, but i would skip the hotel.
