Yusuf’s hotel is really amazing, and looks just like the photos. I really loved my room, and I stayed for 10 nights and felt right at home. I didn’t get to meet Yusuf himself, but he had 3 staff members there (3 men) who were all very friendly, helpful, and gave great advice on the things to do in Istanbul and how to get around. They offer you coffee and tea every time you leave and come back, and we’re so hospitable. I was coming back really late at night each night and there was always someone at the door, and it was not a problem. The hotel is about a 7min walk to the metro, so it is very easy and convenient to get around, the only thing is you have to walk quite a bit uphill to get there. The room itself was super comfortable and I felt right at home, just the walls are thin, so if you have loud neighbors, you will be able to hear them. The bed was comfortable for me, it is on the firmer side, but I liked it. The hotel is in Sultanahmet, which is the historical side, it is a great place to stay to be super close walking distance to hagia Sofia, blue mosque, topkapi palace, and bascillica Cistern. I would highly recommend staying here if you can, especially if you are traveling alone and would need some extra guidance during your stay. Uber is also very cheap in Istanbul so it’s easy to get around if you want to stay out late in Taksim, Kadikoy, etc. Thanks for much to Yusuf and his staff for their hospitality! :)
