The hotel is located right in the center of Istanbul. From the hotel, you can reach all the sights within a 10-15 minute walk, including the Sultanahmet Blue Mosque, or take a boat trip on the Bosphorus. There is no sea view from the back of the hotel. There is no balcony or terrace view during breakfast. The room is 15 square meters, which is acceptable. A table is provided, perhaps allowing you to enjoy tea or coffee in the private atmosphere of your room in the evening with a friend or partner. The hotel service is good. The breakfast is good, but the coffee is not good—it's basically chemical coffee. You should try to get good coffee at Starbucks or a Turkish coffee shop. In conclusion: The price is €10-20 more expensive per night compared to alternative hotels, but there is no police holding cell in the basement for criminals.
