It was my first time at Istanbul and I chose Elif's place based on the reviews. The location is superb. 5 minutes of walk from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the tram station. The reception is open 24 hours and they are always there to help you with anything. I lost my istanbulkart and the receptionist gave me one to use. The best thing is the breakfast. The employees are super cool as well. Great experience. Will stay again.
