I lived in this hotel for 4 days. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, served from 7:30 until 10:30 a.m. The hotel is in a quiet and convenient location, but close to the mosque. There are some good place to exchange money nearby. I would like to stay there again if I go to Istanbul.

the location is good close to touristic areas. the management employees were great very helpful and friendly, especially Mr. Erdal the day shift receptionist was the best. BUT the room cleaning was awful a lot of dust under the bed. in addition to discovering missing cigarette packs and someone stealing a good amount from my roommate's whisky bottle.
