Average stay and close to historical sites
Pros:

Hotel was clean. Close to tourist areas. Tv remotes did not work and claimed there were elevators but none to be had. Also somewhat difficult to find. Streets very narrow for cars to access. They need to get one remote not use two to be able to use the tv.

Not good hotel, its location is very bad,
Pros:

the staff not very friendly, the economy room was in the basement, they did not have room for my booking so I was sent to another hotel near by, luckily that hotel was a bit better, cleaner and closer to the main road but still was given a room in the basement with no window, it should say this details about the economy room in the expedia website so people can decide if they want it or choose higher level room.
the worse part was made to feel like unwanted by some staff as I was coming from another hotel.

Pros:

Hotel staff were quite abrupt upon arrival, the main manager wanted to upgrade our room on arrival for an extra 10€ per night, we refused. He then went down to an extra 5€ per night, we refused that and just wanted the room we had booked. He explained that our room was in the basement and didn’t have a window- which it did. The room was great.
This was not a warm welcome. He then blanked us each day- rude.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!
Pros:

There are way better options. I wouldn't recommend staying in this area and never book in this hotel. Stressful, awkward, awful welcome to Istanbul. The manager was rude and aggressive. He had a fight with his colleague over my reservation in Expedia in Turkish. I was concerned and confused. The second guy just left the building mad. The first guy told me there were no more rooms available for the rate I had booked and payed and I had to pay 50% more if I wanted to stay, otherwise he'd proceed to cancel my reservation with Expedia. Yes, threatened to kick me out. He said my room eas in thr basement and wouldn't recommend it anyway. I waited some seconds to think about the best solution at 10pm in dark, scketchy, and empty downtown. Then they said he had found another hotel for me in a better street for 25% more. I accepted and ended up in an ok hotel for more money. Worst experience. I let Expedia know, but haven't heard back from them after a month.
