Unbelievable location for the price. My room was clean, spacious, and even had a balcony. Breakfast with a Bosporus view was great. I recommend walking around the historical sites (500 feet away) at night, when there's almost nobody around. One note to picky travelers: the shower in my room was a hand-held hose in the middle of the bathroom. I could imagine some people having an issue with this, though it did not bother me.
