If you want convenience
Very convenient - close to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Cistern and tons of restaurants. Tram station is just a minute walk. Rooms are clean but very small and a bit pricey. So loner stays might bother you by the crammed space. Rooftop restaurant for breakfast was great. Staff were very friendly.

It is an ok hotel with good location and friendly staff!!
The hotel is located in the city so most of the sites are within walking distance. The hotel staff are friendly as well. The room is a bit old and needs some maintenance. My room was located besides the street and therefore the passing cars and trams could be heard as well. The booking of limousine was a problem as their car was not available on the time I booked it but the hotel reception arranged a taxi for me which is cheaper.

Centrally Located, Fabulous Breakfast
This hotel is centrally located in the Sultan ahmet district. It is only 50 meters from the nearest tram stop so it is extremely easy to get around the city. The breakfast on the roof-top terrace is huge and fresh. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great hotel for a great price!
