Great hotel. Very convenient location, tram, metro in 5 minutes walk. There is an excellent exchanger on the corner with a good exchange rate. The rooms are clean and spacious. The room is cleaned every day.
The breakfast is varied and very tasty.
Special thanks to the manager of the Orhan Hotel. He is very attentive, polite, speaks and understands Russian well. I familiarized myself with the excursions (I did not impose, which was very pleasant). the excursions that we visited had an amazing time🥳
We had a plane at night, we were allowed to leave our things and walk around the city.
Overall, the hotel exceeded all expectations.
I definitely RECOMMEND IT!!!

We stayed with the family for 5 days, booked on Yandex Travel.
Pros: very convenient location, within walking distance of the metro: Aksaray and Venegiler (use the Yandex Metro app, just change the city in the settings). There is a super profitable exchange from dollars to lira on the corner, there is the Walide Sultan mosque, the tram stop is a 3-minute walk away: it goes to all the main attractions, and if you get to the final Kabatash and take the funicular, you can get to Taksim and Istiklal. There is a Migros jet store.
The very friendly staff at the reception, at breakfast, and the hostesses left a pleasant impression. Cleaning service every day, there is coffee/tea, a bottle of water per person. We were greeted with Turkish tea
Cons: the picture and reality are very different, look at the photos of tourists and real reviews, I did not pay attention to this, I liked the photos from the website, there is mold in the shower, the toilet is "tired", the room is very cold, you need to ask the reception to turn on the air conditioner, towels and linen with yellow and brown spots (moderation did not miss such photos), the breakfast is standard, every day is the same.
If you are not picky about the environment / cleanliness, then this option is perfect for 4-5 days.
Nearby there is a budget dining room Balkan Lokantasi. A 15-20-minute walk away is the Suleymaniye Mosque, where Sultan Suleiman, Hurrem Sultan, and others are buried.
It takes about an hour by metro from the new airport to the Venegiler station (you buy a PTT card at the airport for travel and then take the green line of the Istanbul Card).
