My wife and I had a good stay at Hotel Basileus for a couple of nights before starting a cruise out of Istanbul. The hotel is not fancy, but it was a great value. Some highlights worth noting were: - Very low price - Great location, a short walk from most of the major tourist sites in Istanbul's old city - Quiet neighborhood but close to everything - Extremely helpful staff, especially Kenan, who provided good recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Check out Basileus if you are looking for a great value in a place to stay in Istanbul.
