A terrible two-night stay — misleading photos, an extremely cramped room, unbearable noise and almost no sleep.
Pros:

The location was convenient, and there are many other hotels in the area. However, if you value your comfort and peace of mind, do yourself a favor and do NOT stay here. There are plenty of better options nearby.

Cons:

The room was extremely small and cramped, completely unlike the photos shown on Booking.com. After placing our two suitcases in the room, there was barely any space to walk to the bed and we had to step over our luggage. The soundproofing was terrible, and we could hear loud music and flute sounds until around 4 AM. We stayed for two nights and could barely sleep either night.

The bathroom was also unbelievably small and poorly designed. The only place to put our clothes and towels was a tiny space directly above the toilet, so they could easily fall into the toilet bowl. This was completely different from the spacious bathroom shown in the Booking.com photos.

We repeatedly asked the staff to change our room, but they did nothing to resolve the problem. The staff were also extremely unfriendly, unhelpful and unprofessional. Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had.

It's great. I will come back whenever I go to Istanbul.
Pros:

Everything was good. The location was perfect. The staff was friendly. It is clean and nice; however, they don't provide plastic slippers for the bathroom, which was the only thing I found not perfect. Breakfast was good enough, as I was expecting it based on the money I was paying. Don't miss the swimming pool and traditional hammam, as they were supeeer.

Pros:

Замечательный персонал, помогли с небольшими вопросами и готовы помочь. Отличное расположение, все рядом и удобно добраться до любого места куда надо. Мы прилетали рано утром и попросили раннее заселение в чем нам не отказали, что было очень приятно. Завтрак был хороший голодным не уйдешь. Номер тоже хороший, хоть может показаться и небольшим.
