It’s a great value for the money. The location was nice and walkable. The only thing we didn’t like was the smell of cigarette smoke. But I don’t think you could escape that anywhere in Istanbul. After reading reviews about the noise at night, I was a little worried. But it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Nothing to keep us awake at night. If you want to explore the city and stay at an affordable, central location this is a good option.
