My stay at Sera hotel
Pros:

The staff were nice, friendly and helpful when asked for help.
Most important thing for me was safety, I felt really safe as a female solo traveler. Safe neighborhood also.
Room/Lobby was clean, warm and comfortable. Showering there was good also.
Location was perfect, it was close to groceries, to exchange offices, to transportation, to diners, Turkishcell... Everything I needed.
The wifi also was good 24/7.
I really recommend this hotel for my fellow PhD students, who are coming for internships, or for tourists on budget too.

Cons:

Two things only, the fridge didn't work properly and there were few baby cockroaches that's all.
