I will summarize my experience in few plus and minuses:
+ Clean room, sheets and towels changed daily etc
+ Good location, if you want to stay in the most turistic area of Istanbul: Sultanahmet (it's also one of the safest as far as I understood, but be aware of taxis, they cheat a lot. Google "taxi istanbul cheat" and read, or what is written there will happen to you as it happened to me :-)
+ Friendly staff that did speak English (two of them at least, at least one was always available)
- Small rooms (like everywhere in Sultanahmet for this class of hotel I suppose)
- Slightly broken toilet cover
- I want to complain about a small episode involving the staff :-) I kindly asked them to recharge 20 TL on my avea (turkish cellphone account) number, me providing the money or the credit card of course, since I coudn't understand anything in the Turkish website. The guy refused to help me and gave me as a reason the fact that he uses Turkcell and not Avea. What silly reason can this ever be?
Nous avons ete bien accueillis. L'hotel est tres bien situe, a quelques pas de la mosquee bleue.
Par contre, les chambres sont tres bruyantes, des 7h30 du matin les femmes de chambres n'hesitent pas a faire du bruit dans les couloirs...
La douche est correcte, un coup chaud, un coup froid. Les draps sont propres et les serviettes aussi.
We had a $300 pearl necklace missing from our room. When we returned home and checked our credit card they charged $400 more than our final bill was. They were suppose to pick us up at the airport. After traveling for 26 hours I spent 30 minutes before I found out they forgot to pick us up. Toilet seat had about 20% missing. It's a good thing I had a roll of electrical tape to hold the shower head up.

Ottima posizione, proprio dietro la moschea blu, colazione a buffet pessima e povera, la stanza dove siamo stati noi, non c'era neanche posto x le valigie e con luci non funzionanti nel bagno (abbiamo usato la luce del cellulare!!)
Servizio di shuttle piu costoso del taxi!!!!
En las fotos las habitaciones se ven grandes pero realmente son muy pequeñas. Sin embargo, la habitaciĂłn es cĂłmoda para mĂĄximo 2 personas y cumple con el objetivo de solo llegar a dormir. Cuenta con un minibar, cama matrimonial, TV, Baño con agua caliente y aire acondicionado. El hotel esta a unas cuantas cuadras de la Plaza SultĂĄn Ahmet, donde esta la Mezquita Azul y la Mezquita de Santa SofĂa, se puede llegar caminando sin mayor problema. De igual manera se encuentra relativamente cerca el Gran Bazar, solo tienen que caminar unos 25 o 30 mins desde el hotel.
I only stayed here for one night on a stop over to head to central turkey. The location is good. About a five minute walk to blue mosque through a nice little bazaar. I've traveled extensively and have stayed at some bad places and don't consider myself picky by any means, so I believe this review to be fair. The room was smaller than my walk in closet at home. The hotel is very dark inside and in a severe need of some remodeling. The bathroom looked a little dirty and barely enough room to move around. The photos on line are fooling. I didn't pay a lot of money, I think maybe 40 bucks to stay here, so you get what you pay for. I essentially was there just to crash an spent very little time there. So if your are traveling on the cheap, don't mind the conditions and don't intend to spend time in your room except to shower and sleep, it's OK, but I can't say I would go back.

Hotel is clean, comfortable bed, with a small fridge but very small space in the room. It is located near to Blue Mosque in a very safe area. Breakfast was included, and it was good. However, when I checked out, they charged me extra for juices in breakfast.
Das Zimmer war klein und eng aber sauber. Das Bad roch muffig und die Armaturen waren locker. Man kommt zu FuĂ zu den historischen SehenswĂŒrdigkeit wie Hagia Sophia usw. was uns sehr gefallen hat. Das Personal war hilfreich. Breakfast war okey..

The hotel provided all the essentials that I needed within a good price and good location.
Das Hotel liegt an guter Lage. Das Servicepersonal ist top! Sehr freundlich! So macht ĂŒbernachten Spass. Jedoch sind die Zimmer etwas klein geraten. FĂŒr einen Kurzurlaub reicht es aber vollkommen.
For the price paid (less than half of rack rate) room was a great bargain. Nice staff, great location, well-appointed room if a bit on the small side. Only problem was woke up early from people banginng around in a neighboring room. Other than that a nice hotel for the money.
