This was a bit of a last-minute booking and we chose the hotel because we needed to be near the Sirkeci/Eminönü areas at the time. A lot of places were easy to walk to, but walking back was tough because it is a bit of an uphill climb.
As for the hotel itself, we were disappointed because one of the rooms did not meet our expectations. We were a group of four and two of us were given a room on the first floor and the other two got the only room in the basement, which was dull, cramped, dusty, and didn't come with an attached bathroom. The bathroom for this basement room was out in the hallway and it was *tiny*. We were assured that the bathroom was only for our use but still wished it had been en-suite, like the one on the first floor.
The ground floor however also had a pretty little courtyard. The view from the terrace was amazing.
Overall, this would probably work for anyone who didn't plan to spend much time at the hotel, but not for anyone wanting more light and space.
Communication with the hosts was smooth and Ömer and his friend who checked us in were polite, friendly and helpful. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel because that cost an extra €10, but there are plenty of cafés and restaurants in the area.
