For the price, this is a GREAT hotel. It’s a 5 minute walk to sultanhmet square and a 5 minute walk to the Bosphorus river. It’s farther from the bridge, spice market and grand bazaar but still walkable (20-35 min walk). It’s down a cute cobblestone street with several restaurants, shops, and other hotels. The area is very safe and the room is clean. The hotel staff was excellent! They were all so helpful and answered all of my questions. The hotel also has a gym which I used one time. It’s very small with limited equipment (elliptical, bike, treadmill, bench, weights up to 10kg). It was not a great gym but the fact that the hotel even had a gym was a plus. The hotel also has a small yet nice balcony looking towards the river, which was unused every time I went up there. It was a great place to read and have some tea. Downsides: The room was spacious but it was older with some rusted areas in the bathroom. The bed and pillows were stiff and the comforter was kind of scratchy. The AC was in the main area with the tv so that area got super cold but the bedroom stayed warm (not hot though). Overall, I would stay here again for the price. The highlights were the staff and location - both made my stay worth it despite the downsides.

Hot

The room was nice, but either there was no AC, or it wasnt working because it was hot in the room. We had to open the windows to cool it down enough to sleep, but the problem was its right above a bar, so people were yelling until about 3am which made it very hard to sleep.
