The hotel is generally good value and is close to all the main sites in Sultanahmet, which is helpful. However, upon arriving on our first night, the room that we had booked was not available and we were placed in a room right next to reception, which meant we could hear all the conversations in the lobby. We were given no explanation or apology for this. Breakfast is a bit disappointing and fairly basic. Beware that most taxis refuse to drive into the area given the traffic, so you will likely need to walk your luggage a fair distance, up steep cobble stoned roads, in order to reach the hotel (keep in mind, this will be true of most hotels within the vicinity). We stayed in Beyoglu prior, and much preferred that neighborhood instead.
