Really great place to stay whilst exploring Istanbul. Very close to Galata tower and very easy to get to the tourist area (with blue mosque etc) by tram. Cute rooftop terrace where you can watch the sunset. We stayed on the ground floor of the building and found it could get a bit noisy at night time. This didn't bother us particularly, as we could sleep through it, but it's just something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper.
