Bien ubicado, buenas vistas pero bastante sencillo. Ningun lujo.
Pros:

Las cistas des del comedor delndesayuno y la ubicacion. Esta muy cerca de la plaza Sultanhamed.

Cons:

El baño es diminuto. Casi no se cabe, para abrir la puerta te has de poner, literal, dentro de la ducha. No es un 4 estrellas ni por asomo,,al menos no en España. Sería más bien un 3 estrellas justito. El desayuno muy repetitvo, cada día había lo mismo.

We had a perfect four night stay which exceeded our expectations.
Pros:

The location is perfect for all of the Sultanahmet historical sites and buildings and about 5 mins walk from the Tram stop which will take you further afield for tiny cost.
Comfortable, clean rooms with good facilities.
Best of all friendly, welcoming staff who go out of their way to help you with advice about trips and places of interest.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. Very happy with everything
