Great!
Pros:

Walking distance to Hagia Sofia, lots of food options around, very clean, big shower and air condition. We had a really great stay and would definitely come again.

Cons:

No window views, but since we only slept there, no problem for us. Noisy neighborhood so bring ear plugs. 😊

Clean place centrally located
Pros:

Very friendly staff, they helped us with our bicycles and printing out tickets. The place was very clean and centrally located (you have to walk up a little bit though for reaching the main attractions)

Cons:

It was quite pricey, but not more expensive than similar places in the area. The bathroom looked very nice, it was, however, a bit of a challenge to get the water to the right temperature. Also the water of our toilet was always running a little bit, which wasn't a big problem though.
