Great location with core tourist spots only 5 mins away. You can even take a power nap after visiting Topcapi Palace. Also 5 mins to the Bosphorus shore. Staff is super hospitable and helpful. Breakfast buffet is pretty nice with great view. Only drawback is the room is compact — after opening our 2 luggages we have to walk through the luggage to get to the other side. Overall, great choice for backpackers!
