Pros:

Posizione fantastica, camera forse un poco piccola e su un cortile interno ma luminosa, alla fine se sei fuori tutto il giorno è ottima anche per un riposino pomeridiano restando sempre in pieno centro monumentale. Personale cordialissimo.

Cons:

La posizione della stanza, interna e non c'è ascensore.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

The hotel is a walking distance to all the major attractions such as Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and it is near the tram stop. The hotel is very clean and neat, my room was cleaned everyday. The staff are friendly, especially Emre. I had a lovely, spacious room. I always enjoy staying here when I'm in Istanbul.
