So Istanbul for the first time and booked into Yusuf’s wonderful mini hotel. But its much more than that. Easy to find, perfect location for the old quarter (5mins walk for me, little more for others) where all the big sights are , Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Hagia Sofia etc. And the room was absolutely perfect. The pictures show exactly as is, only what pictures don’t show is the hospitality. Yusuf was away for the majority of our stay, but our host ‘ErrollFlynn’ was just the nicest, funniest chap, talkative, informative, helpful in the extreme and a great sense of humour. They couldnt do enough here. Rooms were spotless and cleaned every day, jacuzzi bath perfect after a long day walking, and even a free use of sauna and steam room thrown in. I could not have enjoyed it more. Great wifi and shower (my 2 most key things) and plenty of conversations and coffee/tea available at reception. Great rooftop terrace too. LOVED it here and you will go far to find better for the price/location. Door to door service arranged for restaurants and coach trips. Everything perfect. Highly recommended.
