The hotel is at a very convenient location: right under the Blue Mosque and basically everything is within a walking distance. It is very turistic area tho, so if you came because of culture/nightlife, look for something rather in the Karakoy area or Besiktas. The room looked pretty much the same as in the pictures, although it felt a bit smaller. I think the place was quiet clean, the only trouble we had was with towels: they just were constantly wet because of the humidity in Istanbul and when the second day late afternoon we asked to get a new ones, we were told towels are changed only every 3 days, but we wanted to take our morning shower on the 3rd day with clean towel so we insisted and after all get the clean ones. There is no elevator in the building and rooms are up into 4th floor, watch out this if you have any disabilities. There is also great terrace with wonderful view over the old town & sea, we used it a couple of time to eat dinner (that we bought somewhere in near by restaurant and took away with us). The major disappointment for us was that in the description, when you click translate to english, it says "breakfast is served", that is not true tho, there is no breakfast included and they don't make any meal in the hotel.
