The property is very close to all historical places, restaurants, and cafes. Very convenient. Our room was very small. Just enough space for a king bed and tv cabinet.

Perfect location, close to all the attractions... only drawback was that the taxi wasn't able to drop us off in front of the hotel, as that road is closed to cars, so a bit of an inconvenience, esp when traveling with a child.

Central location by Hagia Sophia

Cons: More sound insulation against traffic and morning call to prayer.
Location: See above
Older hotel, tiny room. That said, very convenient, good breakfast and helpful staff. Free Wi-Fi. Was able to walk to Hagia Sophia (just outside!), to Blue Mosque, to Topkapi Palace and Archeology Museum and also the Cistern. On tram line for easy access.

Great hotel close to the tourist sites.

Pros: Staff was helpful.
Cons: Transportation to/from the airport could be lower in cost.
Location: Great location. Right near the trolley stop. Walking distance to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Cistern, Blue Mosque. Lots of shops and restaurants
Cozy hotel across the street from Hagia Sophia. Quiet area but right in the midst of activity.

Perfect location and excellent hotel staff!

Pros: The excellent service and perfect location.
Cons: I can't think of anything that could have been better.
Location: The main sights and our favorite restaurant were completely within walking distance but the hotel was more than ready, willing and able to get a cab.
The location, walking distance from the major sights and our favorite restaurant, Panorama (not to be confused with Panoramic which is up the street) was perfect for our vacation! Upon arrival, the hotel concierge met us with cool drinks and a map to give us a better idea of how to get to all the places we were interested in going, namely Hagia Sophia - which was mere steps away; the Blue Mosque; the Cistern, etc. The room was perfect for our needs and very clean. The soaps were especially fragrant and lovely. The breakfast buffet was varied and plentiful. It was all an absolute delight to stay at that hotel and when we go back to Istanbul, that's where we'd like to stay again.

very nice hotel, very close to all tourist sites

Pros: Shower and the jetted bath tub was relaxing after a long walk. We enjoyed the breakfast selections and of course the price was good.
Cons: Add a chain from the inside of the door for added privacy and security. Their towels need replacement since they are a bit worn out.
Location: Located in the center of Istanbul, the hotel is at the center of all historical sites and tourist attractions and all from walking distance.
Breakfast was good and healthy choice and keeps you full during an all day site seeing. We stayed for five days and room cleanliness was very well maintained. The only concern is the doors don't have any chain for added privacy as anyone can just barge in after knocking. There is also no city views from the hotel room. We basically used the hotel to cleanup and sleep after touring Istanbul. Their airport shuttle service is very expensive, 30EURO while shuttles nearby are only 5EURO but they cannot access the hotel easily so you have to drag your luggage with you to get to them.
