The location is excellent!!! All historical sights are within walking distance. The tram stop is 50 meters away and the metro is nearby. I booked an economy room because I was alone and in Istanbul for only 2 days in transit. It is normal to spend two nights, but it is not suitable for a vacation. The room is very, very small!!! I kept tripping over the legs of the bed, not because I was clumsy, but because there was very little room to move around the room. There's a strong smell of smoking because there's a cafe downstairs. But I didn't come to sit in my room, but to walk around Istanbul for a day and fly on. The breakfasts at the neighboring hotel are quite acceptable, you won't stay hungry and everything is delicious, especially stewed vegetables with mushrooms. The hotel has an elevator, which, by the way, is not available in all hotels in the old town.Even though I checked in on the first day in the evening, on the second day my room was cleaned and my towel and linen were changed, which is a big plus. The staff speaks Turkish and English, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

At first glance, it's a good hotel.One star immediately for the location, everything nearby is very convenient.The second one is for normal breakfasts, for this price per room per day, it's quite decent, you can find something to eat, minus the fact that there is no regular water and no coffee machine, but that's okay. The advantages end there. The room itself seems decent at first glance, but only one blanket for three adults, 1 roll of toilet paper, which will not be replaced when it runs out, just for a tip.There are no hooks in the bathroom or in the room, and three hangers for the entire closet. I understand everything, 3 stars, but this is a straight base that can be easily solved, at least with towel hooks in the bathroom. All the fun started later.The day we stopped by, it was very noisy at the construction site next door, and the building between our hotel and the one next door was being demolished. On the 5th day of our arrival at the department, we came and found a hole behind the closet (I'll attach a photo) . We went to sort it out at the reception, we were offered the same room on 2 floors above.Thanks to the adequate staff. We moved there on the last day of our stay. On the last day before departure, we waited for a transfer in front of a cafe, watched the experiment, so to speak, they quickly patched everything with concrete and will settle people It is very dangerous to move in above 2 floors,the crack is serious,a security issue,be careful when choosing this hotel

The location is very convenient, the breakfasts are mostly vegetables, very tasty cooked.We ate well. The staff is friendly and courteous. But the hotel itself is terrible. The old rooms are very small, the linen is gray and washed (towels are changed daily!) The shower cabin has no doors and all the water is splashing all over the room. There was a BIG RED COCKROACH in the room on the first day! When we saw him, I wanted to run.The corridor is one spiral staircase, it's already difficult for the two of us to separate. In general, for an amateur. But the location is very convenient, there are good exchangers in the area. We left at eight in the morning every day and came back at eleven, so we didn't notice anything anymore. The most important thing is hot water and a bed. This hotel did not spoil the excellent impression of Istanbul!
