Nice Hotel
Pros:

We stayed 6 nights here. I was not expecting much to be honest, but the hotel exceeded my expectations. Amazing location. Less than 5 min walk to tram station, beyazit mosque and grand bazaar. Very lively and safe area.
The rooms are small, but they can fit two people comfortably if you do not have very huge luggage. We got used to it quickly.
Breakfast had modest options and was a little repetitive, which I personally didn't mind. But it's an open buffet unlike what some others commented on here. So you can take as much food as you want.
We had lots of requests as the room wasn't necessarily cleaned thoroughly and the shampoo/soap/etc weren't automatically refilled. However, whenever we asked for anything at the reception, they did it for us immediately. On our last day, we met Berkay (I hope I remember the name correctly 😅). I think he's part of new management for the hotel. He was very nice, offered us turkish coffee and took notes of our comments. I highly recommend Serai Hotel if you're on a budget and looking for a moderate level of comfort. It was our first time in Istanbul, and staying here left a nice memory.

Pros:

The hotel receptionist went above and beyond to assist us in finding a taxi, as we checked out on a Friday and Uber or taxi service was impossible. Both receptionists are kind, the hotel is super clean, bed is comfortable, we appreciate the elevator, the kettle for hot water(which many other hotels don’t provide) so thank you, and the hotel is conveniently located near the Grand Bazaar, tram transportation, and only a 10-minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. We truly enjoyed our stay at serai hotel! Wish we could stay longer.
