It was really lovely.
Pros:

The location was good, there was a bit of walking but everything we wanted to see was within walking distance.

Cons:

Everything was amazing, I wish there were more breakfast option. It was the same daily, I wish there was a little bit more of fruit variety. It was great for me, but my girls really struggled finding something they enjoyed.

Good, friendly hotel with perfect location and nice staff.
Pros:

Perfect location, close to the main historical attractions in Istanbul.
Railway station for suburban trains to Sirkeci is 100 meters away.
The staff is very friendly and service minded.
The rooms are clean and have the standard which can be expected for a hotel at this price level.
My room had 4 beds so it is suitable for a family with 2 kids.
Comfortable beds, you sleep well and the place is silent in nighttime.
Breakfast is simple but good.

Cons:

It was somewhat complicated to turn on and off the lamps by the bed. The switch was hidden behind a big closet.
The hotel have a roof terrace, from where you can have a splendid view of the Bosphorus. But unfortunately it was
not in a good order and not very welcoming - why?

Ideal location
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood of Cankurtaran, ±10 minutes slightly uphill walking to Sultanahmet Square. It gave us a local feeling staying in the area and has an adequate number of restaurants around it. We felt safe even when walking at night time, with our kids. The hotel had an elevator that fits four people, which is a plus point. The nearest train is T3 Cankurtaran Station and that's only ±2 minutes walking.

Airport pickup was helpful. The staff who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful. Other staff were friendly as well.

A simple Turkish buffet breakfast was served daily. They also cleaned the room daily. The room's amenities were complete and clean. Our room had a double bed and two single beds, perfect for our family of four. The terrace and sea view from our room was wonderful.

We loved that this hotel preserved its original character, charm and authenticity over other modern hotels that looked exactly the same elsewhere. It made our stay more memorable and unique.

Cons:

Top floor terrace needs an upkeep.

Budget hotel with basic amenities, but great location
Pros:

Staff, elevator and location were the highlights. Also, as a woman traveling solo, I felt very safe. The breakfast was good, also, and the room was quiet with a comfortable bed.

Cons:

Unremediated mold exposure in the shower, and cleanliness was so-so. The room was cleaned well on a daily basis, but there were stains on one of the walls that were old and gross. The furniture was rather shabby, and a badly frayed cord on the hair dryer attached to the bathroom wall looked to be a catastrophe waiting to happen; hotel staff was advised of it upon my departure. Overall, I would have liked it more if the owner had put some effort into a deep-cleaning of the room and some updates to the furniture and the rest of the interior.

Pros:

Initially booked for 2 nights. Nice little hotel, friendly staff, clean rooms. Our flight got cancelled and the hotel was able to extended our stay 1 more night. Prepaid taxi service to IST was really nice: right on time, and the rate was actually lower compare to what Bitaksi app showed. A couple small restaurants right next door.

Pros:

The hotel is located in the heart of the old city with less than a 5 minute walk up a small hill to the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. It is located next to a Korean Restaurant and on the other side the building has been torn down so that makes the front look a bit unsightly. The manager (his name is Sahin) was wonderful and extremely helpful. The included breakfast was good with some seasonal offerings. The hotel has an elevator that works great (although it is small). The room was clean. They had a single small blanket to cover with but that was more than adequate and the AC worked fine. It is not a five star hotel and maybe not even a 4 but I rated it high because of Sahin and the location and the price. I would not hesitate to stay here again. For those looking for an affordable but nice option close to the old city. It is also a very short walk to the water and there is a tram stop just across the street. the only complaint might be the bathroom as the shower water drained very slowly and there is a lip to step up and over to get to the bathroom and it was easy to trip over especially at night. The room had a safe and a refrigerator. There was also a TV in the room which we couldn't figure out how to make it work (I think the remote batteries were dead) but we weren't interested in watching TV with so much history around us. I see in the photo there is a balcony you can look out on the water but we never accessed that or were told whether we could.
