WARNING TO FELLOW TRAVELERS ABOUT ISTANBUL! (nothing to do with the hotel)
The shop keepers around the hotel are very aggressive and persuasive to the point where if you are not used to aggressive salesguys, then it is possible that you will be quite uncomfortable. Near the Sultanament area, Taskim square, Spice Bazaar, Galata Bridge area, there are many scam artists that will try to rip you off. If somebody offers you a free drink at a night club, run in the opposite direction. A fellow tourist from Philippines was ripped off by these scam artists to the tune of about US$2,500. You can also read about this online but there are many scam artists in the area. Also, too much bargaining for my liking in the shops.
