This hotel is in a busy part of the old city, within walking distance to many many parts of the city. The room was clean & cozy :-) with comfortable beds. Over all this hotel was a perfect fit for what we needed - a centrally located hotel near by many bazaars, restaurants, & Turkish candy shops. Ahmet offered much advice for transportation options, and was very communicative leading up to our stay. When traveling to Turkey to fly into Ataturk Airport as SAW is quite far and will cost you a lot in time/money/both getting to central Istanbul.
