Nice and clean hotel, tidy rooms with everything you need (although not huge). The staff is really friendly and helpful, always ready to organize something etc. The best thing is roof terrace: you have a great view at the blue mosque and the ocean from there. Perfect spot to take your breakfast (which is tasty and varied). The location itself is really perfect if you are in Istanbul for sightseeing. If you intend to go clubbing/visit more remote/"authentic" parts of the city you might consider another area. But - as I mentioned - it's a perfect stay for a sightseeing trip.
