Yusuf's hotel was a great spot for us. You're located near some major sites, good eats and easy public transportation hubs. It's definitely the quieter side of Istanbul but that's what we enjoy, and getting to other areas like Taksim were so simple using the tram. Yusuf and his team made the check-in process smooth and there was always someone present in the lobby 24/7 — a great help for information, setting up a taxi back to the airport, and if there are any problems with the room. As for the room, we loved the layout, the bed was comfy and the bathroom featured a nice powerful shower with consistent hot water. The hotel also has a private Turkish bath in the building which wad quite the experience!
