Volvería sin duda!

Perfect
Pros:

Well the property it’s literally next to everything. In the middle of the city, with a rooftop (terrace) that you could eat breakfast or any food, and have an amazing view of blue mosque and Hagia Sophia.

The breakfast (included) has many western and Turkish options, also the staff the reception managers are awesome, they speak English and are ready to help anytime.

Rooms: they are perfect and according to the price, very good isolation between room and toilet, also very clean.

Location: it’s literally next to a street with restaurants, Hagia Sophia, all museums,, popular chains like Starbucks, McDonalds

Cons:

Breakfast could be a bit earlier, like 7:45 but that’s just for early birds like me.

Im Herzen von Fathi
Pros:

Es ist ein kleines feines Hotel, in einer Seitenstraße von Fathi.es ist alles fußläufig zu erreichen und die Straßenbahn fährt auch vor der Tür. Sehr saubere Zimmer etwas klein aber zum Schlafen reicht es, Klimaanlage funktioniert und auch das Bad ist sehr sauber und funktionell. Das Frühstück ist türkisch aber sehr gut und immer frisch. Das Preis Leistung Verhältnis stimmt. Vor allem die Frühstücks Terrasse ist im Sommer toll, auch am Abend mit dem Blick auf dem Bosporus. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter die helfen gerne.

Cons:

Leider war es von der Straße her sehr laut, von den Restaurants in der Straße, da ist es etwas schwierig in den Schlaf zu kommen wenn man bei offenen Fenster schläft..sonst habe ich nichts auszusetzen, komme gerne wieder.

Center of the city @ a good complementary breakfast
Pros:

It was close to most important tourist destinations

Cons:

Small room, but to be in the middle the old city Istanbul, I believe it’s okay
