not as good as on the photo
This is the worse hotel and it looks nothing like on the photo. I asked for a quite room as I am a light sleeper so they give me a room on the 3rd floor right below the restaurant. I could not sleep at night before someone moved tables and chair all night long. The room itself was very very small and not updated. There was an A/C but the smell was so bad so I kept just the window open. Also, the location is busy and anywhere you go, you need to go up to hill..

Managed the basics, but little more.
The hotel is very simple. If all you need is a bed and shower, it's a good value. First the good – the bed was comfortable, the rainfall shower was nice, check-in and check-out was easy, the food at the rooftop breakfast was acceptable and the view of the Sea of Marmara was a lovely way to start the morning. The location was also fine. It's about a 10 minute uphill walk to the Grand Bazaar. Negatives – the room was very tight. We had to squeeze around furniture to get to the far side of the bed. While all of the rooms are non-smoking, we still woke up with our room smelling of cigarette smoke every morning. If you're very sensitive, steer clear. Maybe it was wafting down from smokers on the rooftop terrace? Windows open or closed and A/C on or off didn't seem to make any difference. The WiFi worked fine in the lobby, but was basically non-existent in our room. Staff was also a mixed bag, mostly they were very friendly, but one day, we were waiting for a tour pickup and our driver was a bit late and I asked the front desk if he would call and reconfirm our pickup time. His first response was to demand to know why I hadn't booked the tour through the hotel.

We had a nice stay and the rooms are relatively clean. The location is within 12 min walk to tourist areas. One thing to note is that the tram station is uphill so keep this in mind for older people who may have problems walking uphill for 5 min. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and the free breakfast had a good variety, the terrace dining area is very nice. Good value for what we paid.

Comfortable hotel in great location.
Everything within walking distance such as the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque and the Cistern as well as many other places to visit. Huge range of choice of dinning close to the hotel. Hotel staff really helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and amazing views from the hotel terrace dinning area. I would definately stay at the hotel again.

Poor quality hotel
Though location of the hotel is relatively close to historical sights, there is no honest way how it could get such high rates and comments. Booking and paying several rooms upfront 2 months, there were no available upon arrival. All rooms in a very poor condition (especially "family"), terrible views from the windows, lots of noise till late night. Breakfast was far from ideal, some food was not fresh. This is a max 2 star hotel. Very disappointed with the choice.
