Great value for money.
Pros:

Location was EXCELLENT. walking distance of all major touristic attractions and 3 min walk from the Tram which will take you everywhere else.
The breakfast was surprisingly delicious with great cheese offer and fresh bread everyday.
Coffee and water available 24/7
Very clean too!!

Cons:

Water pressure on the 5th floor was not great. Fine for showering but hair wash is a bit of a pain.

Bed was ok for a couple days, might be too soft for some people.

Overall a great experience.
Pros:

The location is great, just a couple minutes from the main touristic attractions in Sultanahmet, pretty close to restaurants, supermarkets and public transport (tram).
The staff is friendly and eager to help with any enquiry.
There is a lift in the hotel, which makes taking suitcases upstairs pretty easy.
I did not have the chance to try the breakfast offered but the kitchen looked organised and clean.
The bed was big enough and quite comfortable as well as clean. The hotel provided a couple bottles of water in the room fridge and disposable flip flops as a courtesy. The room was organised, clean and with plenty of natural light coming in.

Cons:

Even though the room can feel a bit small, it is cosy.
The bathroom is small but good enough, maybe some of the walls in the shower could be a bit cleaner.
