If am ever going back to Istanbul, this hotel will be my first choice.
Pros:

Located in the center of Istanbul.
The included breakfast was excellent. It had a wide variety of dishes, both hot and cold. Everything tasted great.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

While the room was not very big, the location easily justifies this.

Spectra is spectacular
Pros:

The location is beyond words. It's excellent. The staff is very good, friendly and welcoming. Metin is exceptional and made us feel very welcome.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit small. But it is compensated for by the great location. Probably the best in Suttanahmet.

Pros:

スルタンアフメットモスクの目の前、窓からモスクの尖塔やオベリスクが毎朝、毎晩楽しめます。
特に夜は淡い桃色の明かりで照らされとても幻想的です。
部屋は改装されたばかりで、快適です。特にシャワー室はしっかり囲まれており、他の同程度のホテルに比べ回りが水びたしにならず助かります。
洗面台も大きく顔洗う時ゆったりできます。
電気ポット、エアコンあります。
朝食も品数豊富でミニサイズのスイーツも美味しいです。
エレベーターあり、荷物あっても楽です。
1階がレストランでその奥にレセプションがあります。
参考ですが、ガラタ橋等ある港側の両替は1万円で２７６０円と一番率の良いところありました。
ひどいところは２２００円というのがありました。グランドバザールの近くですが。

Cons:

まだ、改装中の部屋があり、部屋にいると工事の音がすることありました。今だけだと思いますが。
