Very helpful and friendly staff, great central location, just a quick walk to transport, Blue Mosque, Haggia Sofia etc. Restaurants and supermarkets a few steps away. Nice new bathroom, clean and tidy. I was a bit worried before booking as there was a few comments about noise from the street/bars, but it didnt disturbed my sleep (i was low floor facing the street). Would stay again.
