We came to Istanbul for a week and decided to stay at this hotel. Everything is very beautiful in the photos in the booking. You can immediately see that there is a very small room, there is a slightly enlarged one. We paid a little more for it. I am attaching both videos. The bigger one with a normal view of the street. It is important to understand that the room is still quite small, but it has everything you need. However, there are also cockroaches in it. Every day we fought with them, because then huge individuals, then small ones attacked mainly the bath. She told us that they are being poisoned, but it is as it is. It should be noted that there is no food in the hotel, you can take tea or coffee, it seems there was soda and something else, but the price tag is too high. We bought a box of tea and asked for boiling water, for free) I.e. there are no breakfasts, I give a life hack, in a nearby hotel you can eat up to 10-30 for $ 6, there is everything you need for a normal breakfast. Cool tables in front of the hotel, in the warmer months you can have a great time there in the evenings. I really liked the staff, everyone at the reception is very friendly, but they hardly know English, they communicated through a translator. The rooms were practically not cleaned, only towels were changed, also a plus, although they did not always leave the whole set.
On the downside, if you are a tourist and not a businessman, then this is the weaving district, that's what I called it. Cars are banging everywhere nearby and fake bags are being sewn. Also, there are a lot of shops with these fakes, for those who buy this, it's a great place. Nearby there are inexpensive canteens and shops.
In general, the place is not bad, but you should not expect high expectations. Another advantage is that everything is nearby, within walking distance, there is also a tram nearby and you can easily get to the other shore.

We visited in August 2024.
By some miracle, we booked this hotel on a booking, it was the only one in our price range and in the city center. It cost $295 for 9 nights - actually, we wouldn't even rent a barn in the Krasnodar Territory for that price)))
The main conclusions are here:
1. The very center of Istanbul
2. To get to the Grand Bazaar and all the infrastructure, we go uphill
3. There are 3 mosques nearby, one of which is 10 meters away (do not forget about the calls for prayer).
4. If you've never been to Fatih, then it's a complete bazaar. Literally. Consider that you live in the market. They sell textiles in this location. But! The hotel itself is located in a small alley, where there is no market vibe and no one is trying to sell you anything. This is a definite plus.
5. The hotel does not accept lira. I wanted to buy coffee - it cost 2 euros (which I didn't have)
6. The terrace is a separate thrill. We sat on it all the time, sometimes we talked with neighbors, there is a special atmosphere of relaxation there))
7. The room is small, the bed is large. The windows overlook the courtyard and the roofs, and there is an exit to the fire escape from the corridor. The elevator runs. The room has a small refrigerator, TV, shower, air conditioning (it was leaking, and it was obviously leaking for a long time, and the staff obviously knew about it, but they tried to fix it every time)) We haven't seen any cockroaches from the previous review. Cleaning was done every day. The shower room was clean and pleasant, without mold. Towels were changed every 2 days. You could have asked for bed linen yourself. Everything is clean.
8. The staff is very helpful. Everyone is neatly dressed in shirts, helping to solve all the problems. The level of service, in my inexperienced opinion, is 10/10.
9. I don't know about food and breakfast, it didn't matter to us.
Bottom line: for this price, it's just a great hotel. We just slept there, took a shower and stored our things, the rest of the time we went somewhere. If you only need a place to sleep, this is definitely a great budget option. If you want something special and some kind of super service, then, very obviously, you don't belong here.

The hotel is small, located in the old district of Istanbul, Fatih.
There are 4 floors, the first one is the reception and a cafe, which for some reason is not working at the moment.
The rest are residential.
Check-in at any time of the day, which is very convenient.
There is an elevator, it's slow, but when you walk around, it saves you.
The rooms are small (as far as I'm concerned, it would be nice to spend the night comfortably, take a shower, clean my feathers and be on my way).
Shower,refrigerator,air conditioning,accessories, everything is as it should be.
The only thing is, the area is located in a hilly area, the descents and ascents are very steep)))))
But again, if you approach it rationally, it's like fitness.
I like it so far.

Of the advantages: located in the historical center, the sights are within walking distance. There are no Deluxe rooms of 30 sq.m. in principle, all rooms are standard with rooms of 9-12 sq.m. for this money there are better options.
